Re: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR-2000
Eric, Thanks for the info. Just what I needed. I have fired the MSR2000 up and it pins a Bird 100 W meter, but have not tested the receiver. I knew it had intermittent PA when I purchased it. I want only 40 W for repeater so hope it will take it. 73, ron, n9ee/r From: Eric Lemmon [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2007/11/30 Fri PM 11:35:20 CST To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR-2000 Ron, The C73GSB-3145B is a fully-optionable, intermittent-duty base station that should be equipped with the TLD2532A 110 watt PA and the TPN1191A power supply. The number TRN5299 identifies a chassis assembly, not a power amplifier, and TPN1189 identifies an auxiliary regulator chassis, not the power supply. I thought that Micor stations were hard to figure out, with multiple part numbers appearing on many components, but the MSR2000 stations are worse. The power amplifier alone has separate numbers for the heat sink, the chassis, the power control board, the PA board, and the mounting brackets. In some PAs, there are frequency-sensitive modules like the harmonic filter that are buried inside, and these sometimes must be modified for optimum operation in the Amateur 2m band. The two manuals you need are the 6881061E50 VHF Base and Repeater Stations Service Manual, and the 6881061E40 Control and Audio Instruction Manual. Alas, the E50 manual is out of print, but the E40 manual is still available from Motorola Parts for about $60. I have added the E50 scanning task to my ever-growing to do list. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ron Wright Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 6:52 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com; skipp025 Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR-2000 Skipp Eric, I forgot one important thing obviously. It is a VHF MSR2000 Model C73GSB-3145B which is a 110 W base station. Included is TRN5299 PA, TPN1189 power supply and TRN5080 METER. It is on 154/159 MHz.

One manual is the back-plane and modules (cards). The second manual is the RF Portions with the Green Banded Manual (book) being the VHF information and the Blue Banded book being for UHF. However, I believe the VHF RF Manual (only) has the power supply information (not in the UHF RF Manual) but I could be wrong or drunk (again). Any time you vary from the generic US MSR-2000 the Manual becomes an as-built binder. Major changes for non US MSR-2000 base repeater stations are the options, modules and frequency ranges. First to mind is the 40 watt Canadian UHF PA with the matching mitrek/consolette power supply. Other modules not covered in the standard control and audio (module and back-plane) book are often in the as-built manuals... ie the CW ID'er, Alarm and other specialized function cards/modules. Mucho fun to figure out the first time... cheers, s.

Yes, the mfg. has a long history of buy-outs to/by other mfg's. I think Regecy bought Wilson, Relhm bought Regency. etc. Don't know if quality of product improved any with each change but they seemed to do the job the the person who didn't have deep pockets for the major mfg's.If you locate your road maps let the RB community know so we can ask about copies.

You can get some idea if the notch is tuned. Having a good attenuator can aid in this. Also direct HT to HT with attneuator, at least 50 db, for reference could be used. I've used this for tuning duplexers although not the preferred method. With the going back and forth with this issue at least one can get some sort of handle on the tuning of the duplexer.
