[Repeater-Builder] High Band Micor receiver needed

2009-11-04 Thread Budd T

Does anyone have High Band Micor receiver available?
Monty, KE7JVX was checking out one of my 222 repeater conversions for numbness 
and has narrowed the problem down to asking for a whole Micor receiver 
section,or just the Reciever Auido Power Amplifier and Audio/Squelch Board.
Please contact Monty Dana ke7...@gmail.com
or me offlist if you can help.
Thanks  73

[Repeater-Builder] Anyone been able to use Telewave TPRD-1554 on 222MHz?

2009-04-05 Thread Budd

A couple of sets of TPRD-1554 were made available to us.   
Their stock bandwidth is 140-180 MHz.
Wondering if we can get up to 222MHz range?

 Thanks, Al KB2AYU

Returning to the question posed a year ago.  All the replies were about 
linking on 420-440.  I guess avoiding comment about 900 MHz confirms my 
observations about using 900 MHz.  So far I'm underimpressed with 
noise/interference and narrow band audio on 900 MHz.  
Is it possible to have a linked system with good quality signal to 
noise and full audio?  Every conversation I've had was more fatiguing 
that trying to talk on 160M during summer monsoons.  
I keep being told to link two repeaters with 900 MHz.
I don't want to link my 222 MHz repeaters inband.  I've already seen 
all the linking anecdotes about using 420-440...what should I pursue?

Please reply to  [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Subject: micor mobile exciter schematic  nospamk7iou 
 
Does anyone have a micor mobile (Trunked) manual? I need a schematic 
for the exciter (TLD8262B) as our repeater has a different model 
exciter due to the DVP. Since the 220 MHz conversion was done on the 
mobile exciter I need the schematic to convert it our exciter.

[Repeater-Builder] Mitrek ID needed

From a friend.  Please respond to Doug offlist with the addy supplied 
at end.
Thanks.

Hello,

I have a Mitrek, Model # J34JJA6100AK, Chassis # HUE1006A.  While 
this seems to be a 30 watt UHF radio, the frequency range and the 
required channel elements are a bit of a mystery.  My Motorola Mitrek 
book does not identify this item and my search on the WEB produced 
nothing different than the numbers I have in the Motorola Book.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectrum Communications

2004-05-08 Thread Budd Turner : N7EOJ

Hi Joe:
You just hit the "shock awe" button for this group.
Yes the company is still in business. It has the worst reputation of any I have encountered. Kevin Schaeffer is the only person you can communicate with. You quickly realize he is a snake oil and used car specialist

When I mentioned Rectum Cons. on this group, traffic quadrupled for almost a week. I immediately received not several, but many, emails with similar stories. Mostgave me the name, phone number and email to a specific agent in the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office that was handling similar cases against the company.
My personal experience started ~9 months ago, and lasted7 months. I was talked into resurrecting an SCR1000 with a long history of problems. (Had I been a member of this group then I wouldn't have touched the SCR1000)
I sent the exciter PA for repairs.Kevin initially said it needed a new exciter ($250) and they would retune the PA for free. Then it was $350. After many unanswered emails and phone calls, Kevin said they had to do extra work requiring the additional charge. He then charged my Visa $450. After many unanswered emails and phone calls over a three month period I had Visa reverse the charges. That resulted in Kevin screaming onmy phone at 5:00 AM thefollowing morning.
After another month of negotiating, I said I would not pay any more than the justified $350. When I received the Transmitter section back, seven months after sending to them, it lacked the crystal oven Kevin said is standard on their exciters.Transmit power is 12-18 Watts with the claimed 30 Watt PA.
I decided to accept it as having been screwed and not bother with further deception and irritation.

[Repeater-Builder] Celwave Super StationMaster Refinish?

2004-04-29 Thread Budd

I acquired an old Super StationMaster a while back that is still in 
my front yard waiting to go onsite.
I have been wanting to refinish the fiberglass fabric that is getting 
a little thread bare.
I found a CelWave document advocating the use of a not locally 
available, two part Prolane product that requires spray application.  
The chemicals would cost ~$65.
I am wondering what others have done to refinish their noodles.
I've got several that I would probably do all at the same time.

To guarantee response I'll throw in Spectrum Communications, Radio

2004-01-06 Thread Budd

Happy New Year to all;
Some of you may remember my starting a similar Spectrum bashing 
thread a couple of months ago when I foolishly agreed to try to 
resurrect the Tucson 223.94 MHz Spectrum Communications  repeater 
last summer.  
After getting literally ripped off by Spectrum Communications,  
(Story too long and probably not of interest), I've been researching 
a better approach.  
I've learned of Micor and GE conversions for 220MHz.  I've been told 
the Micor conversion is easiest and best.
I'm searching for a High-band Micor for conversion to 222 repeater.  
The models I'm told that will work are TLD4071-4074 (older 8 
channel), TLD5271-5274 (older 4 channel), TLD8271-8274 (Newer 4 
channel).
The documentation says modification of a TLD5274 or TLD8274 requires 
the least component changes.
If you know of any of these please let me know of availability  
price.
I would like to get this frequency occupied and active again.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or assistance.

PS.  A second less pressing request.  Please delete all the 
unnecessary repitition when replying to posts.  My mailbox was filled 
today by the digests of messages containing the previous 5-15 
messages in each of their replies.

Thanks  73

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Spectrum Communications SCR1000 VHF

2003-11-27 Thread Budd Turner

FWIW: I posted on here a couple of months ago expressing regrets I had not seen all the Spectrum bashing before I acquired for resurrection, a Spectrum SCR-1000 220 repeater. I received plenty of cards letters from everyone with an opinion. (Ever see a ham without an opinion? I used to think that was a license requirement.I get the impressionthat is now the only requirement...But I digress.)
BTW, Coy, over half of the incoming email was regarding legal actions against Spectrum and included contact information for the PA. Attorney General's office and other cases pending.I sent the exciter PA to Spectrum inAugust. The previous owner sent the PA to them to be tuned to the INPUT frequency of the repeater!!! I figured that was why it locked up and burned up the exciter.
Kevin Schaefer, "Spectrum Sales Manager",advised they would retune the PA free, since I was getting a replacement exciter ($250).Odd how the only person I can contact at Spectrum is Kevin Schaefer.
"Total cost would be ~$250-$275."
Next conversation, (three weeks later), Kevin said it was going to cost "$325 to no more than $350". I approved the charge to my Visa, since I was committed this far.
Three weeks later, when the Visa statement arrived, Spectrum had charged $432.50.
I emailed and voice-mailed Kevin several times over the next two weeks, with no response. I copied Spectrum on an email to Visa to reverse the over-charge due to lack of response from the merchant.
At 5:00AM the next morning Kevin was on the phone, screaming. We went the gamit of how they lose money dealing with hams, to he wasn't responsible for the over-charge but "would try to get the owner to approve refunding some of the money."
Two weeks later Kevin called to report he had talked the owner into refunding $50 of the overcharge.
Three months after sending to Spectrum and I still don't have the exciter PA back.
I am eagerly awaiting my Visa statement to see if Spectrum has done anything.
That covers their business practices. The quality of their work remains to be seen.

Coy:
Responses on this forum have been so numerous and strong. They seem to have overwhelmed my offer of SCR-1000 documentation. Or maybe you have just been too busy responding to the firestorm you generated by asking if anyone had SCR-1000 documentation.
If you are still up to the challenge and not scared away by all the bad reports, I'm re-offering copies of all my docs. Misery needs company and I'd like to have someone else to commiserate with as we try to get these things back on the air.
When things get quiet or the weathercold, we can post an occassional Spectrum statement, then stand back and warm our hands to the resultantfirestorm.

Happy Holidays 73 to all
