Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor repeater power supply

[Maire Company]

there is a power supply that Motorola made for the Micor  that will charge 
the battery (12V) and them run the repeater when needed.

The last I knew a new one from Motorola was about $400.  as I got one for a 
job and still in stock.  Also they may be got at a ham fest as I got a Micor 
(working) with the power supply for $600.00 at one time.

If you can't find one let me know and I will see how many I have.

 Has anyone come up with a way to power the micor repeater with 12 volts?
 Would like to have a point in the power supply to hook 12 volts to for
 battery backup.

 Hi,
 
 I am pondering replacing a Micor (146 mhz} ham repeater with a more
 current model. As many already know the receiver in the Micor is
 excellent. Could some one dust off a Micor maintenance manual and get
 the receiver specs for me. For that matter does anyone have experience
 or know of current repeater receivers that match or exceed the Micor
 specs?

 You will have a hard time beating a Micor receiver, however, I can
 tell you that the Motorola Quantar makes an outstanding ham repeater.
 Used ones are becoming affordable but give consideration to the
 maintenance.  These units are FRU based and exchange assemblies are
 expensive.
 
 The IF and demodulation is all done in DSP in the Quantar.  The
 squelch action is even better than the Micor chip.  Interfacing is a
 snap - assuming you have the wireline board which hosts the wildcard +
 EM I/O.
 
 Specs: Micor / Quantar
 
 20 dBq: 0.5 uV / 0.35 uV
 12 dB SINAD: 0.35 uV / 0.25 uV

Does any one have suggestions for a repeater

I 'd like to find a unit with about 6-9dB gain, possibly 
with a preselector.

I am trying to stay away from the Adance Receiver Research

Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB-420B Side Mounting

 Hi, all.

 I have a Rohn 45G tower and a Rohn's Universal Sidearm Mount presently
 configured with several antennas.  I want to rearrange the antennas and
 mount the DB-420 for my repeater using the Rohn universal sidearm mount.

 I want to use the universal sidearm to bottom and mid-mount the DB420
 (the heavy, bottom half of the antenna)near the top of the tower to gain
 additional at the expense of a lower wind rating.  The alternative is to
 bottom and top side mount the DB420 using the universal sidearm, but
 lower on the tower.  The height difference either way is less than 10'
 but the tower is under 80' tall so the 10' can make a difference.

 I am in a 70 mph county in North Texas where we get severe weather each
 Spring. My question:  Would the DB-420 be secure enough bottom and
 mid-mounted on the sidearm for additional height?  Or is it  better to
 bottom and top mount the DB420 with lower height but greater wind rating?

 Suggestions?


 Thanks

 Stewart

  Well Dean since you seem to need to shout

  Building is a state of mind! Even if it 
  means you use blocks to put it together. For an educated person as you 
  so blatantly flaunt after your name you seem to have forgotten the basics of

  the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:Webster Dictionarynaryam-Webster DictionaryMain Entry:

[Repeater-Builder] cable run radiating cable

[Maire Company]

what do you guys know about the installation 
of radiating cable for a repeater in a building. I have a 5 story building 
and sub basement. So it is like 6 stories. Thinking of putting the 
repeater in the lower level and installing the cable up to the 
roof.On the roof thinking a DB-408. (or would a dummy 
load be used) This would be a UHF repeater possible 2 watts or other 
low power use. The goal is to cover the floors as there are a lot of 
cement and metal. At this time they have a repeater on the roof but the 
lower floors are dead and there is very little receive in the sub 
basement. The current repeater is 40 watts. No preamp.

Or any other thoughts would 
help.

  problem point to point. In large buildings in downtown Chicago we use stacker

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor Repeater is PART 95 Type Accepted

[Maire Company]

well if the unit can not be used as a repeater or it can that should be a 
part of repeaters also.

we got a number of Micors still in operation (6) , and as long as we have 
them out there working this would be a good think to know.  We have been 
changing them to Kenwood TKR-840  but still have more to go.   Any one need 
any Micor repeaters UHF or parts  let me know.
thanks for the info.

 How about everyone concerned about Type acceptance

 email whith those who get a Sh!#.

 This is a repeater builder forum NOT FCC land!

 Same thing goes for Coordination crap, take it
 offline!

 Everyone has an opinion about coordinators, who

 This has nothing to do with Repeater-Builders.

   We just checked the FCC list and it is not there

 today that it is not true.
 These older radio's are NOT FCC type certified for
 use today on GMRS under

 I suspect that many of the participants here have had experience
 selecting UHF repeaters for high-RF applications such as at
 broadcasting sites.   Which would you buy and why?  Yaesu/Vertex,
 ICOM, Kenwood, or some Motorola type?   At present I am using a pair
 of Moto GM300s with a RICK controller.

 Thanks for the input. It is 150MHz and we would have a 5Mhz split.
 What is the best process for shielding the two radios? Are there
 cases out there or some foil type products?  What would happen if we
 just connected to the two radios together and separated the antennas?

 I looked at the R1225 and it is a little big but may work if need
 be. Would a Motorola PAC RT work?

 Denny,

 The HT1000 is an excellent radio by itself, but its plastic case
 offers
 no shielding whatsoever.  It is possible to construct a compact low
 power repeater with the HT1000 (or any two commercial quality
 portable
 radios) if each radio is enclosed in a tightly-shielded box, with
 all
 audio and control leads brought out through coaxial filter
 capacitor
 terminals.  The antenna lead would need to be brought out through a
 separate bulkhead connector.

 Once you have a completely shielded transmitter and a completely
 shielded receiver, connect them to a compact (mobile) duplexer with
 double-shielded cable such as RG-400/U.  You will need a
 rudimentary
 controller to handle the simple repeater functions.  I am assuming
 that
 the pair you intend to use in the 150 MHz VHF band has a 5 MHz
 split; if
 it is less, a mobile duplexer won't work.

 It would be a lot easier to use a 10 watt Motorola R1225 repeater
 transceiver, instead of two separate radios.

 Ham radio items for sale;

 My father passed away about a year ago, he left me quite a collection
 of electronic gear and radios.
 I never really had too much of an interest in the radio or
 electronics thing like my father did, so I never was licenced and now
 I really have no use for the items. On top of things, the company
 that I work for is promoting me but I have to re-locate. Rather than
 haul this equipment across the country, stuff I dont use anyways,
 I've decided to sell it to lighten the load.  I had a yard sale, sold
 a pile of the little items like mobile and hand held radios, tuners
 antennas - even the tower sold. Some of the people that came by told
 me to post the stuff on E-Bay, others mentioned yahoo groups and
 others mentioned newsgroups. Since E-Bay charges an arm and a leg,
 and I need to get this stuff out of here ASAP, I'll try the groups.

 To make this stuff go quick because I don't have much time to mess
 around with it, I've priced the stuff cheap to make a quick sale.
 Also, I'm prefering to use Paypal rather than Money orders, just
 because of the time issue.

 As an added bonus, All items SHIP FREE with insurance and a tracking
 number. You pay just the amount of the item(s) you want.

 So with that said, here is the list of items.

 Best thing to try :

 Get the MoSlo program here... http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/
 Use it at the default speed (IBM PC/AT 4Mhz).  This should allow the
 R100.com program to run on most any system.  If it still won't run,
 DISABLE CACHE in your CMOS setup and try again.

 Also, if you're dealing with a 450 split R100, you will probably have
 to hex edit the R100.com file to modify the allowable bandsplit.
 Directions to do so are here...  http://www.batlabs.com/r100.html

 Good luck  hope this helps.

 Your computer may be way too fast, the R100 s/w is OLD, and does not
 run correctly on any faster than a old 286 10mhz with DOS 5xx or 6.0.

 You could also have a bad EEProm, or bad data in it, common problems.

Kenwood and Primus both make set up's for what you are asking  but like I

call sign set up as a system.  I have done this in the past the other 
problem is if the main channel is UHF then the VHF repeater can only be low 
power.  look in part 90 under mobile repeater.  we have set them up a number 
of times  they work good if you get high end equipment.  Right now in my 
truck I have a set up from Kenwood tk-780 and tk880 works good but not low 
cost.

 The radio will not be 1. used on ham frequencies, it is GMRS and the the
 scanner would be used to pickup up a business band radio that is a friend 
 of
 the families on a VHF frequency I am licensed with FCC for GMRS and he is
 licensed. we work together and help each other out a lot. it would just be
 nice to hear him without having to put another radio in the pickup or put 
 a

You cannot rebroadcast Public Saftey on Ham freqs.  I'll give you a 
classic
example in Michigan when I was at a meeting...

Woman unknown was rebroadcasting police locations where the RADAR speed
traps on 11 Meters CB CH. 19  needless to say Sheriff got ahold of this 
and
arrested her and she was in Jail, everything consfiscated.

doesn't matter whats being heard John Q. Public finds that you
retransmitted
a traffic Stop for a burned out light bulb or a speeding ticket, he will 
be
after you, and the court can fine you or have you making Martha Stewarts

  A no nonsense license runs about $350 to $550 complete,

  No, each user can operate under the main license if set

  under the right type of license.
 
   Can I do the research and find a frequency pair

  Coordination is probably required. You can suggest a
  frequency pair to your license ap person or have them
  research one for you.
 
   (We live in a rural area, Thomasville, GA. Finding a
   pair should not be hard. I am hoping for a pair in
   the 460 band, as I have a very nice mastr II for that band.)
   I have been monitoring a specific frequency, and did research

 I think the point was mistaken here.  I either have to change the 
 connector
 on the receiver so that the cable goes directly to the receiver without
 using any connetors to change from one type of plug to another, or find a
 special cable with an RCA on one end and a Type N Male on the other.  My
 objective is to never visit the repeater site once this machine is done.
 And if I have to, I don't want it to be becuase I used a cheap connector 
 to
 tie in the reciever. The receiver is the GE MASTR ER41.  I'd rather just
 change the connector to a type N connector, but would have to widdle a
 little on the internal copper casing to put it in place.  Question:  If I
 install the type N connector, and there is a solder point behind the 
 inside,
 am I going to run into troubles.  I hate to cut into it to find that I'm
 opening a can or worms for noise to get in?

 I'm not  entirely tongue in cheek  when I ask  whether you should be in
 charge of a repeater or installing one if you have  not got the expertise
 to
 cut a bit of coax  and fit a plug or socket. And if  the spare 20 minutes
 is
 to much for  some then that would explain the funny noises I often hear

 I just recently picked up a VHF 125-Watt MSF-5000 base station at a local
 government auction, the model number is C73CXB-7106B. From some of the
 research I've done on the internet, I understand that this is a base
 station, 125 watts, and the PA deck model number corresponds to a 146-174
 MHz split.

 Has anyone on these groups put one of these MSF-5000s on 2-Meters (144-148
 MHz)? I have several MICOR, MASTR II and MSR-2000 base stations and
 repeaters in service on 10M, 6M, 2M and UHF, but this the first time I've
 ever looked at putting an MSF-5000 into ham radio service.

 Can this radio be programmed to be a Repeater instead of a Base Station?
 One of the techs in our radio shop said that there is a choice in RSS to
 select whether the station is to be a Base Station or a Repeater. If so, 
 is
 it just a matter of setting the necessary parameters in RSS and bringing
 out the transmitter (PA deck) and receiver antenna leads to separate RF
 connectors?

 If it will go to 2-Meters, can it be programmed for any frequency within
 the 144-148 MHz band?

 Does this unit require a PROM to be programmed, or is it all done with 
 RSS?
 We have a lot of 800-MHz repeaters at work, and we do have the latest RSS,
 programming cables, RIBs, etc. I spend much of every day working with RSS
 for Spectras, MTS-2000, and lots of other Motorola radios, and now those
 that use CPS, like the XTS, XTL, etc. series radios. So I feel comfortable
 using RSS, and have a shop full of people that use it on MSF-5000s
 regularly. We just don't use them on VHF, only 800-MHz.

 Thanks in advance for any advice on using this station. I haven't fired it
 up to make sure that it works, I've been planning to use RSS (if that's
 what programs this particular station) to see how it's currently setup.

 Here is the situation with the repeater I maintain that runs 300W on TX.
 Repeater antennas are at 1300 ft feed through 3/4 in 75 ohm line.  The
 majority of the user base is 40 to 60 miles from the site. We have a 
 remote
 input about 60 miles from the repeater to provide HT and mobile coverage
 for where the majority of the users are.  With all the feedline loss and 
 the
 distance from the users, we need the 300W Tx power to provide good 
 coverage
 where the users are.

 The repeater is also the primary skywarn repeater with wide area coverage 
 of
 the state and users need to be able to hear the repeater well in adverse
 weather conditions.

 With 300W, I can hear the repeater from my house which is 50 miles from 
 the
 repeater and I can get into it on the HT with the rubber duck using 200 mw
 through the remote receiver.  With the repeater running 100W for TX, I can
 get into the repeater using the HT but can't hear it on the rubber duck.

 Neil McKie wrote:

 I can only wonder why the need for what seems to me is excessive power?
 

 Most folks will agree that a repeater that is working properly (no
 desense) having a receiver sensitivity of .35 uV (- 116 dBm) for 12 dB
 SINAD, and a transmitter power of 110 watts will likely be fairly well
 matched in receive/transmit coverage considering a modern 50 watt mobile
 rig.

 Now, lets add a receiver preamp on the repeater and increase its
 sensitivity by say 6 dB to -122 dBm.  Considering the repeater still
 operates properly, without desense, this same repeater would now require
 480 watts of transmitter power to be matched as above.

 That being said, 200 + watts of transmitter power doesn't seem to be
 excessive to me, but it depends on what is there to hear the user.

 Another is at http://www.teampctechnology.com and
 look for the model number TS-C-COM232

 These guys occasionally have them used, and when they do
 they are _really_ cheap. Go to http://www.pcliquidators.com
 and plug pcmcia into the search box.
 But there is no warranty and no return.
 I use these guys all the time for SCSI cables.

Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Direct TV type dish?

I work for a high-end Custom home electronics company and deal with directv 
all of the time. Heres a few bits you may or may not find intresting.

1. Rain fade. Want to limit this? Put up three 1 meter dishes to look at 
the birds and have better signal reception. Yes, its an eyesore, but you hardly 
ever get rain fade!. The dishes are getting smaller and looking at three 
different positions in the sky, so they give up gain with the dish itself to 
look at all of these at the same time. They get away with this because the birds 
themselves are relativly high power. You can use up to a 1 meter dish to look at 
any one position in the sky and get much better signal, but not any bigger 
because again, the dish is too focused, At the 101 degree position there are 
actually three satellites which if I remember right are about 50 miles apart 
from each other in orbit, but at 24000 miles away thats virtually a single point 
in the sky from here. However, a dish bigger than 1 meter can single out one of 
the satellites. For you who have directv and have looked at your signal meter, 
with a 1 meter dish setup almost all of the transp! onders will read 100 all of 
the time with clear skys or even light clouds, and you hear toto flying by when 
rain fade actually knocks the signal out all together.

2. For long runs or commercial installs the standard is RG-11 coax to 
maintain signal level. There are amplifiers used for this as well. Stacker 
systems are becoming more common in MDU and high rise buildings. Basically, 
conventional satellite systems work 900 to 1500 as noted in a previously. The 
issue is that the reciever has to send a signal to the dish to switch between 
the a and b lnbs to look at the different birds, they cant both come down the 
line at the same time because they are both oviously coming down at the same 
frequency. You cannot just "split" the signal to multiple recievers because they 
would battle for control over the dish as channels are changed. Because of that 
distribution of that to dozens of recievers in a large building starts to get 
complicated because of the voltage switches needed to facilitate the 
switching. The Stacker system sends the second dish feed down at 1500- 2 gig, so 
that all of the signals are on the line at the same time,! a on 900-1500, b on 
1500 - 2000. Many of the recievers out there already have tuners built in that 
can accept the wideband input, just a simple trip into the service menu on the 
box and turn it on! Now we can amplify and split as needed to feed as many as 
you want! But RG-11 and 2 gig rated splitters and amps are a must. 

Thats my two cents on the matter.

  Article 810 of the National Electrical Code covers the minimum grounding

  warrants lightning protection, you should also consult NFPA 780, the
  Lightning Protection Code.
 
  The NEC covers grounding for safety of personnel, structures, and

 something large enough to hold a quantar 2m machine  duplexers and a UHF

 my only requirement is that the unit be pretty much sealed (except for a

 i would prefer aluminum due to weight considerations... and something
 within 300-400 miles of jacksonville, florida so i can come and pick it

 if anyone has any ideas, please let me know i know this stuff is

  Steve I think you 
  have more than a problem with Kenwood…it's either your dealer or the way the 
  situation was handled. I was a Kenwood dealer for over 20 years (retired 
  last year), and Kenwood was always responsive to our needs. I've had 
  "LEMONS" from every manufacturer including Kenwood and never had a problem 
  with them replacing the unit…no matter what it was…if I said I wanted it 
  exchanged..they exchanged it. There has been a lot of talk of buying 
  from Kenwood Dealers that don't service their equipment but send it in to the 
  Depot. Personally I would never deal with a company that didn't have the 
  technical expertise to maintain and repair the equipment they sold. We 
  always repaired all the equipment we sold "IN HOUSE", except for DOA's which 
  we promptly got an exchange for the unit or a credit to our 
  account.
  
  So all of that said…I 
  really don't think Kenwood was the problem….it was whoever was in-between and 
  apparently whomever you purchased the unit from apparently is one of these 
  companies that doesn't "SERVICE WHAT THEY SELL".
  
  If they can't service 
  it, then they shouldn't sell it…..end of story.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Kenwood Repeaters

[Maire Company]

Well as a Kenwood when I got my contract with them it gave the area I can
sell in.  If I am selling out of my area they can STOP selling to me.  I
have seen that happen to people in the past.  Also to sell Kenwood products
there is a bout a 32 page contract I had to fill out.  They make a very good
product and happy to sell it.   I have in the past seen a number of dealers
of equipment removed from selling it just because given 30 days notice and
you are out.   Even companies like JBL, Shure, Medeco, CK, are also some
that do that.  Also  Kenwood can require you to go through the local dealer
for repair even to send in the unit and to get a RMA #, if the local does
not want to work with you then where are you?  It may get repaired but sit
on his shelf for weeks before he sends it in.   There is a little discount
you get for volume but if you buy from you local dealer it may help him get
it so he can pass it on to you,  ever think of that?

thanks for my .02

dealer for Kenwood, Vertex, Maxon, Midland, EF Johnson  and soon Icom
(all in Florida and some in East TN also)

  WRONG WRONG WRONG. The ONLY legit way to buy  *new* Kenwood LMR
  equipment is through one of the dealers listed on the website. They can
  direct you to a more local dealer if you wish (what you get is a
  regional dealer), but Kenwood has a policy in place that it's dealers
  are NOT allowed to sell outside of their assigned area, and NOT direct
  sales on the internet, to protect their dealers. It is also important to
  work face-to-face with the staff. Support your local businesses! They
  are the backbone of the industry!
 

 Under Federal LAW. I as a person or business can purchase anything from
 anybody that has stock, regardless of where they are.

 Kenwood knows this and does not push the issue.

 If I do not want to purchase from a local dealer (for any reason,
including
 no reason) I can. Kenwood may not like it, but that is the LAW. They
 (Kenwood) can not make me purchase from a local dealer, and they must
honor
 the warranty. The local dealer to me can refuse to honor the warranty, but
 not Kenwood.

 Hi,

I generally keep quiet, and you will probably never hear me say
 something bad about a product again, but here goes.

If I were you, I would avoid TE Systems like the black plague.

Their customer service is truly the pits.  God forbid you need to get
 your amplifier serviced, you may never see it again.

You can email me if you want more details.

I have heard good things about Crescend and TPL amplifiers.  But I have
 never used either.  Somebody like Jeff DePolo could give you good advice,
I
 think.

Good luck with your project.

 Jeff

  Before you can put a GMRS repeater on the air, you must have a 
  GMRSlicense. You also need to read and understand the applicable FCC 
  Rulesin Title 47 USC Part 95. The current edition of Part 95 is 
  datedOctober 1, 2003.A GMRS repeater should be FCC Type-Accepted 
  for Part 95 operation, butyou can use a repeater that is Type-Accepted for 
  Part 90. Thisrequirement rules out any repeaters built from parts. Some 
  repeatersthat are relatively inexpensive include the Yaesu VXR-7000, the 
  KenwoodTKR-850, and the Motorola GR1225 or RKR1225. The important features 
  tohave are a built-in ID-er and the capability to decode CTCSS or CDCSS. 
  You will quickly learn that a good antenna, duplexer, and feedline 
  costmore than the repeater.Although the Part 95 Rules limit GMRS 
  power to 50 watts, there are somehigh-powered "pirate" stations operated 
  by unlicensed individuals whoignore all of the rules. I suggest that you 
  not seek ! advice from suchpeople!73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY (and GMRS

 Hey gang.
 OK, need some info from you old timers who are Dayton regulars.
 Any good reputable booths I should visit as far as commercial stuff
 goes?
 I'm thinking about link radios, commercial HTs, perhaps maybe even a
 duplexer or 2.
 Any ideas?

 What is the sensitivity in microvolts? If you do not have access to a
 signal generator or service monitor you will not get far on your own,
 having manuals is important for the radio service tech you consult with
 on-site to evaluate this problem.

well the R-100 is a repeater and when you use it as a control station it
just has a remote station on it.   It's normal operation is a repeater,
there is also a switch on the control for repeater operation and no repeater

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Controllers RC-210

I got a RC-210  and they were the best to work.  I have done a little
testing on the unit but don't have it in full operation at this time.  BUT
all the help Ken has given and understanding, I am sure he will be there to
help as needed.  I had him build the controller, as I have been short on
time (and still am) but he did a great job.  I may ask him to hook it up to
a repeater for me if my time is still short and I would ever trust him to do
the job and bet the repeater back to me.

I do not know Ken or business but from doing business with him and I would
say it is a great controller and get your self one.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TX-RX Duplexer Tuning

Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] TX-RX Duplexer Tuning


 Tim,

 Yes, you can rent a spectrum analyzer- preferably with a return-loss
 bridge, or you can borrow one.

 Seriously, though, the duplexer is such a critical component in a
 repeater system that you really should not try to cut corners on its
 tuning.  Once upon a time, I personally used some creative means to
 tune duplexers, before I decided to acquire the proper test equipment,
 and I always was able to improve on my prior work, using the proper test
 equipment.

 A spectrum analyzer with a tracking generator is the minimum essential
 tool for tuning duplexers.  However, not all spectrum analyzers are
 accurate enough for such work, and fewer still have enough dynamic
 range.  Most low-end spectrum analyzers have an 80 dB dynamic range,
 which is insufficient for duplexers that might have greater than 100 dB
 of isolation.  That's where a network analyzer really shines.

 A return-loss bridge is an important accessory for a spectrum analyzer
 (it's built-in to a network analyzer), since it allows you to tune for
 an extremely sharp peak (actually, it's a sharp null) when tuning the
 bandpass element, thus squeezing the nth degree of performance out of a
 duplexer.  A properly tuned duplexer should NEVER need to be tweaked at
 the transmitter site.  If tweaking a duplexer at the site does improve
 either the reception or the power output, the chances are good that the
 spectrum analyzer used to tune it is off frequency.  It's also possible
 that there is a significant impedance mismatch, but I don't want to beat
 that dead horse!

 I prefer to use a network analyzer to tune duplexers, because I can
 easily verify that the jumper cables between cavities are the correct
 length.  In the case of your TX-RX duplexer, you probably should give
 the factory a call to confirm the cable lengths for the model and
 operating frequency.  Depending upon your location, it may be
 cost-effective to ship the duplexer to TX-RX, or to another vendor such
 as EMR, for professional conversion and tuning to your repeater pair.
 If you do this, do not let anyone touch the tuning controls after its
 return!

 The Bottom Line:  Yes, you can tune a duplexer without any fancy
 equipment- but why would you want to, if your objective is to have a
 first-class repeater?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] VOCOM (or VO-COM?) Power Amplifier Retuning

We have used Vocom amplifiers for may years (UHF)  and have been very happy

with get it tuned, any repairs needed, and a cost that will not kill you.
We just got a unit not to long ago on Ebay and had them go over it and are
very happy with the job they did.
The amplifier has been install since we got it back and like the other 6

  I just put an MTR2000 UHF repeater in commercial service, and I know
  that it will also cover the Amateur 70cm band.  It's pretty pricey for
  most Ham groups, even if you get a stripped model.  Be aware, the 100
  watt model requires 28VDC, while the 60W and lower run on 12VDC.  You
  can save a few hundred by deleting the built-in power supply and the
  4-wire interface.  However, you should consider getting the speaker,
  speaker cable, special local-control microphone, programming cable, and
  the RVN4148 RSS.  One other thing:  The MTR2000 is intended to be
  repaired by exchanging modules, so the detailed service manual does
  NOT contain any schematics or parts lists.  Although the MTR2000 is
  pretty rugged and reliable, it is not a repeater that is
  user-serviceable.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] question about combiners

[Maire Company]

it would be not as costly if you had a 
bigger spacing on the freg.

  about combiners
  
  Hey guys.
  OK, this is a bit greek to me, so your info 
  is appreciated.
  I have 1 sight, and 2 repeaters.
  We don't have the space to put them on 
  separate antennas.
  We have a station master.
  Could i run 2 UHF repeaters on 1 
  antenna?
  I know i would need a combiner. What 
  type of combiner would i need?
  Any info on doing this would be 
  appreciated.
  
  Kindest Regards,
  Jed.n1jbcYour use of

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Vertex VXR-700

[Maire Company]

I have a number of the VXR-7000 UHF repeater on the air for community
repeaters for a number of years with NO problems.  They are on towers with a
master receive and rx ant setup.  We are a Vertex dealer and I can say for a
50 watt unit we have had not problems.  The other repeater we have out there
are the Kenwood TKR-840 and they also have given us no trouble.   The
Micor's we have seem to give us the most but when they work they work very
well.  Some time next year we are going to replace they with the newer
units.

We are running a set of Wacom 639 duplexers. The repeater is set up on a
mountain top site that is heavy RF environment. There must be about 20
or 25 systems up there including 2 paging systems

Sorry, for the typo. Yes, I am referring to the VXR 7000. What kind
of duplexer did you buy for it?

I thought the club guys were overly quick to dismiss the Vertex as
a toy.

What kind of environment is your 5000 in?

 Has anyone tried this model for amateur radio use?

 The guys in the club seem to think it is inferior, but they never
 even read the specs. I heard someone make the comment well, its
not
 commercial quality. Does it have to be commercial quality for
Ham
 use?

 There seemed to be concern about the sound quality? I have a few
 Yaesu radios and always get good audio reports.

 Can someone share their experiences pro and con?

 Thanks,

Sounds right to me as at one time we had some of them.  Been in the security
since 1970 and you could not even give them to me .

 Spectrum sounds like the company I used to work for, Electronics Line,
makers
 of  crappy PIRs and security transmitters. When taking transmitters out of
 the warehouse and checking them out, they drifted from + 1kc+ off
frequency to -
 1kc+ as they warmed up. When I asked about temperature compensation, was
told
 to mind my own business. Quit shortly thereafter. It's always easy to get
one
 through FCC certification, then forget about the added components on the
 rest. These units only worked on frequency when the temperature was 72
degrees. I
 still get calls asking what to do about this crappy product and my advice
to
 them is round file them and replace them with a quality brand.

 Stick with a reliable and proven brand.

 I received a call from the dealer that sold me the repeater.  They said
that
 Kenwood had ordered a recall on all TK 750 and 850 repeaters.  They
 redesigned the Transmitter.  IT has a much larger driver transistor and
 final.

 They will replace the board at no cost to you.

  Hi Richard,
 
  Just wondering where you heard this info?  We are currently using a
  TKR-750 - and I would be interested to follow up with the dealer on
  the recall.  Thanks!
