RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola Mystery Box
This is a 600 Ohm Delay line used in setting audio delay's on Simulcast paging systems. The delay is in micro seconds. I have used several of these on an old Ameritech 158.100 paging system.

Transmitter is a VHF Engineering; output is 1 watt. I'm using a Mastr II receiver with no preamp. Interconnect cables are RG142. The old VHF Engineering receiver developed problems not worth fixing, so everything is on the bench for the new receiver and re-tuning. Desense was always an issue with this repeater, with 1-3db pretty normal. So I decided to re-tune the duplexer. I used a signal generator and receiver. All ports were either terminated in 50 ohms or had a 10db pad in series with the generator and receiver during tuning for minimum signal through the respective halves. It seems to tune well and predictably. However, I'm getting 20db+ of desense with the duplexer operating into a known good dummy load. I can reduce the desense considerably by *winging it* and tuning the cavities while the repeater is operating. (Maybe that's the way I should tune it...!) So something isn't right. I'm not totally convinced that this duplexer wasn't played with at some point, so it is possible that cables in the harness were mixed up. There is no labeling or other info on the duplexer, since the metal box that it was in when new is gone along with the nameplate. So it is not clear which side is which, and I may have been trying to use it reversed (although I don't think so). I believe that this duplexer was originally ordered for 2M, but I could be wrong, which could account for some troubles. So where would I find info on harness cable lengths so I can check them? Or if someone has one of these working on 2M and is willing to make some measurements that would be awesome. And which half of the duplexer is for the high and low frequencies? Laryn K8TVZ

The elements were temp compensated etc and I really don't think that it is coming up off frequency. If anything it seems it there at extremely low power but not confirmed at this point.

Well Eric, I guess I am not sure if it really qualifys as the elevator room or not as I beleive that is a story below. Only time anyone has been there is when we installed it. Therefore it has been a long time since I have been there, as the need hasn't happened. Since a trip that requires such work to get too we have avoided going less absolutely needed too. So guess I can't say it is or isn't in the elevator area and guess there has been no complaints maybe it is Ok. In any case I am not sure this problem will even evoke a trip as it is only in the extreme cold and it is only one site of three available, albeit it is as good one.

Since the hospital is the tallest building in the city, the management had another masonry room installed on the roof, with a separate entrance, specifically to contain radio equipment. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Randy Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 4:38 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Cold MVP Well speaking of cold we have a MVP remote RX which is a duplexed 2 meter rx to 70 cm tx that is in a elevator room on top of a 15 story building and that room is largely at near ambient temperature and now with the cold seems slow to come up. The elements were temp compensated etc and I really don't think that it is coming up off frequency. If anything it seems it there at extremely low power but not confirmed at this point. The site is in a secure site so is hard to get access to for testing. What thoughts does anyone have on this. Randy
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Cold MVP
Well you might have hit the nail on the head. It is turned down to about 3-4 watts as that was all we needed to make the path. I only noticed this last winter and this one now but guess it could have been like that from the beginning without us noticing it. Next time I have one to test I will put it in the freezer and test that. I was thinking maybe the relay or the COR switch might be not switching. The radio was made to take it better than the controller. Randy If you have the power turned down on it (such as for driving an external RFPA), the power level will drop with colder ambient temperature, but will eventually come back up if the TX is kept on for a while. I have 2 on a mountaintop site (0 to 100 °F ambient): one duplex link one repeater. The repeater radio runs at full power I never have any power issues with it. The link is set to around 3-4 watts, when it gets well below freezing it takes a couple of seconds for the TX to make enough power to establish the link. Bob NO6B

[Repeater-Builder] Re: LDG Voter RVS-8 Mystery
John is the inputs Capacitor coupled? And or are the RX sources DC coupled? Randy --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, John Transue jtran...@... wrote: Our club recently added a remote receiver and RF link to our club repeater. We are using an ACC RC-850 controller at the repeater site. We added an LDG RVS-8 voter so we would not have to use PL and to make life easier for mobile users. Now we have a problem. When I set up the voter, the POTs that I must adjust seem to have step functions, i.e. I can adjust to, say, 500 mV, then the next slightest adjustment will immediately take me to, say, 3 V. I put the two receivers on channels 1 and 2 and found the step occurred in both channels. This was perplexing. I called LDG tech support and was told that maybe a POT was just dirty even though the voter is brand new. So I tried again with the same result. Then I switched the two receivers to channels 3 and 4. These POTs had the same characteristic. There are two POTs per channel, so the problem is there for eight POTs! At first blush, this looks as though LDG has a large supply of defective POTs. So my question is, Is there any way something external to the voter could cause the voter POTs to behave this way? I don't want to charge LDG with using bad components if there is any chance that the problem is caused by our receivers or controller. I don't see any way the receivers or controller could cause the problem. What do you all think? John AF4PD PS: The repeater receiver is in a Midland BaseTech II and the link receiver is an Icom IC-F221S. PPS: A further problem is that the maximum audio output of the RVS-8 is not adequate to modulate the BaseTech II transmitter (through the RC-850) to any deviation above 1.7 kHz. I can solve this with an audio amplifier or a change to the RC-850, but I would rather that the voter did the job. This problem, too, could be caused by a bad POT. I am sorry to say I did not measure the audio voltage out of the voter.
[Repeater-Builder] Maybe a strange question...
Our repeater is coordinated on a given two meter frequency. Due to terrain and other factors, we were forced to agree to some interference from a neighboring repeater, on the same frequency. The neighboring repeater is located on a peak roughly 100 miles away from us, and roughly 1800 feet higher in elevation. The repeater owner claims an ERP of 55 watts from an omni, however, I can consistently hear that repeater on my base at my QTH with an s-1 to s-3. I am transmitting 50w, 2dB loss in connectors, about 1.25 dB loss in feedline and about +6.5 dBi in antenna gain. So, I figure my ERP should be about 100 watts (+3dB = double in power, right). My antenna height is about 35 feet. So, as a newbie, I am assuming that if I can hear him at s-3, and he is transmitting 55w ERP, where my ERP is 100w, I should be able to program the radio with the proper offset and PL tone and get into the repeater. Is this a correct assumption? After all, if I can consistently hear him, the path is line of sight, right? Due to the difference in altitude, this would make sense. If all else is the same, I should be able to bring the repeater up. Or, is this repeater putting out much more than 55w ERP? Thanks!

I need to tune the VCO for my amateur frequency in the TKR-750. Does this unit need to be hooked to the computer and set in some way before tuning? I am at the very low end of what the repeater will program to at 147.060 and I can't get the right voltage on the Test Point by tuning the capacitor. The voltage is well below what it should be. Randy
RE: [Repeater-Builder] TKR-750
It only says K-1. Goes from 146.000 to 174.000 or something near that. I am confused at what the manual calls firmware. Is that like bios in a computer or does it also take in programming the channels. Also the manual talks about holding PF1 while turning on the repeater to put it in programming mode. If I do that, then I can’t get the software to work. If I just turn on the computer without holding anything, then the software will work. Then there is also reference to K,E. Is E just another model? Anyway, what do I need to do to get the test points up to 8 volts? About 5 is the highest I can get. The repeater was originally on a frequency in the high 150’s.

[Repeater-Builder] GE Master II Pa decks
Hi group whats the deal with the GE Master II PA decks needing to use a ferrite isolator with a 50 ohm dummy load and a low pass filter between the PA and the High Q duplexer. Is this something that most do with the 75 and 100 w Pa's We just replaced one in a Master II Mobile radio which lasted for years with no issues. After installing the PA and doing a tune up the Radio did about 80 watts we set it to 45 watts I was also told that was not a good thing to do so whats the story on the PA. I seen where Repeater Builder the Company talks about the 75 or 100 watt PA's in there web site only bening good set to 45 watts or so anyway so I assume they are setting theres at that level when they do a Duplex conversion ect making the radio into a repeater. I have read the information on the website about this but would like some user comments as well. Also where would one get the needed parts ect to do this Mod. Randy

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Weather Alert Radios...
Just reading the mail here and I had the same problem with the Reecom 1650c weather radio. What I did was leave the audio live to the RC-210 aux audio input all the time, then when the alert comes through the alert macro turns on the aux audio and then can program a timeout timer to your desired length. I also set up a user command so users could check the weather reports at their leisure. Randy Elliott VE3JPU Technical Director South Pickering Amateur Radio Club Inc.

It works great, unlike the midlands, it mutes the rx when it recieves the end of message data burst. I probed around and found the line that mutes the audio when not active and ran that to an alarm/logic input on the 210. Then ran audio in an aux audio port. Works like a champ. I also brought the 3 alert lights out with plans to change the courtesy tone and tail message based on status of the radio. Haven't had time to do that yet. I have a macro that connects the aux audio to all repeater ports, says '' weather alert'' plays the message. At the end of message it disconnects the aux audio, says ''weather alert clead' and ID's fast in cw because for some reason the 210 does not see aux audio as an input for the I'd timer. Finding a radio that mutes at the End of message signal is key, I find the ones with 2 minute timers annoying. I was surprised when I bought the $69 one from radio shack for the rv to find that it also mutes at End of message. I bought a second one for backup for the repeater. An easy way to hook one up is using a cheap vox kit, then you don't have to go probing for the mute line. Let me know if you need and help, you can email me direct or here. The next project is to record the alert so it can be played back any time during the alert period. The onboard DVR can't be used as it is too small and can't record aux audio from a macro. Rob.

W4CPT From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of n9wys Sent: Sunday, November 23, 2008 1:08 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Need SWR meter recomendation Albert, If what you want is an SWR meter - *and nothing else* - you can't beat a Bird 43. They can be found used all the time on a popular auction site (in various levels of condition). In fact, I picked up a Bird 4410 (the multi-range meter) at a great price, and haven't looked back. Yes, the slugs can be on the expensive side, but 43 slugs can be found at most hamfests, too. (Not like for the 4410, which are VERY expensive and not as plentiful. Oh well.) Having said all that, you say you're interested in BUILDING antennas - you'll need an analyzer to do that. I have no experience personally with the MFJ line of meters, but have seen nothing but glowing reports on them. In fact, one ham local to me absolutely loves his meter. The only problem I see with the MJF meters are they are limited to lower UHF (nothing about 460 for the most part) so working at 900 MHz and above will definitely be a problem. My buddy is finding that out now, as he is trying to build/tune antennas for use on my 900 machine. Another option is the VNA's (Vector Network Analyzer) that are offered in such places as the back pages of QST, etc. These work via your computer (either USB or some other connection) and are coming down in price. Do your research (including asking the collective knowledge base here, as you have) and then make your informed decision as to what to buy.
