 through to get the radio to communicate with anything is not worth my
 time

The problem is that the timing loops associated with serial
communication in that software run too fast on modern hardware, causing
the software to try to talk to the radio faster than the radio is
capable of writing to its firmware.

i386 virtual machines are great, but it is possible to have something
execute in that virtual machine at 2+ GHz today.

[Repeater-Builder] R100 TX power Help

2010-03-17 Thread ct3fq
Hi Guys,
I'm newbie in this list and  I need help...

I'm trying to reprogramming a MCR100 (MAL43XXX series ) to a  2m  repeater:

1) I Have change all the frequency data with the r100 software with success;

2) I have tune the RX VCO (L201) to a maximum of 4.35 Volts DC (The motorola 
manual claims to be 7.0V DC) but it's working :-);

3) I have tune the TX VCO to a maximum of 7.40 Volts and the repeater TX seems 
to work but with only a few milliwatts of output...

Yes, The problem is the power!:-(
 
I have turn the R463,R453 and R455 to full power (CW) but it doesn't  I have 
1.984 Volts DC max in R463(test point CV) (and R477 too)

What I have miss? I don't find any more tuning procedures in the motorola 
service manual...

Any help would be fully appreciated..
