Hello Tim I Know this Place is Good http://www.cardinalelec.com/index.htm Good Luck Don KA9QJG --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, tahrens301 tahr...@... wrote: Well, it looks like the old R2002B took a drizzlin'. The mongo 6.2v Zener in the 5v overvoltage protect circuit is a dead short, leading me to believe there are more problems lurking in the power supply. Anybody have an 'extra' power supply, or know who works on these things? Thanks, Tim
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater /Crossband Help
Thanks for the thoughts on My little Cross band/Repeater project , I think I will just quit trying to reinvent the Wheel and take My Old Midland 13-509 220 rig and a Motorola Maxtrac and make My own set up with a Pl on Both . That should solve my problem The Old Midland can be turned down to less than a watt. And the Maxtrac can run all day on 25 Watts and a fan. PS Sorry if this Went out 2 times Having E-Mail Probs Thanks Don KA9QJG I tightened up the SQ And moved the Unit over more from the Repeater , But now it is a Lot harder to get in to But at Least it is NOT Locking up . PS Thanks Mark this is the Mobile Micor I don't know if that is the same , Anyway I need a Better Quality receiver than a Ham Rig anyway and As We know Motorola , Motorola , Motorola Yes I like MOTOROLA Lol From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Mark Sent: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 10:15 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater /Crossband Help Don, There is an article on the Repeater-Builder web site (not the Yahoogroup page) about how to disable the always on channel element in the Micor exciter. I think this is what you need to eliminate your problem. It is described in this article: http://www.repeater-builder.com/micor/stationcontrol.html Look in the section titled, Keyed Exciter Channel Element Modification Also look here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/micor/stationmod.html about half way down the article, under the heading Modifications relating to the chassis and find the subsection titled For the Transmit Exciter you have a choice: I also thought there was a more comprehensive article describing the issue you are experiencing, but for the life of me, I cannot find it right now... Mark - N9WYS -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of ka9qjg1 Hello hope Everyone is doing well, I have ran into a little Problem and thought I would get some suggestions on how to resolve it I have a Motorola Micor 224.40 repeater built By Scott N3XCC , here on the Repeater builder group; it has worked great for over 3 Yrs. I have a Few Hams in the area who do not have 220 but the know and would like to talk to some of their friends who do , So I took My Kenwood TM-631 Duel band found a Local 2 Meter Simplex that Myself and a few others have been using for over 20 Yrs . I turned the 220 Transmit down as low as I could get it which is 2 Watts That goes into a Bird 100Watt Dummy load . The 2 Meter side I have set a 10 watts and a 3 In muffing Fan that runs while Transmitting It runs nice and Cool , Everyone likes it and it works fine Except that is has been keying up on the 2 Meter side off and on sometimes as long as 3 4 Min Unfortunately I had disabled the TOT And on this Radio you can only have a PL On one side and I need that on the 220 side . What I think is going on is that the Micor 220 has a Very small signal on the output always being transmitted. No big deal except for what I am trying to do and that will random bring up the 2 Meter Transmit. This radio has the 6 In Pigtails coming out to a SO-239 I wrapped them with Foil and Moved the Duel band radio about 10 ft away from the Repeater which is in a 4 ft Motorola case . The link is being Id When the Repeater is being used. Any thoughts will be great appreciated, The hams using this really like it that don't have 220 they can now use their 2 Meter Mobile and Ht .

[Repeater-Builder] OT P25 Versus Analog Test by Maple Bluff Fire Department, Dane County WI
As Scanner Listeners And some on this group are actual users ,I found this very informative. And Yes I do agree that The FD and Anyone that have to use the New Radios and Put their Life on the line depending on them this is Very Important The 2 FD Guys did a Great Job on this too Happy Scanning Don KA9QJG Interesting audio quality tests with various p25/analog radios under various noise conditions conducted by firefighters of Maple Bluff, WI FD. http://www.mapleblufffire.com/videos/Narrowband-radio-test Prior to January 1, 2013, emergency service departments nationwide will need to comply with the new FCC narrowband guidelines. On February 24, 2010 the Maple Bluff Fire Department (MBFD), in Dane County WI, performed an unbiased and impartial radio test. We compared the sound quality of the Kenwood TK-5210, Motorola XTS-2500, Motorola XTS-5000, Motorola APX-7000, EF Johnson SL 5100, Tait 9135, and ICOM 9011 under normal firefighter work conditions. These radios were tested in Digital and Analog modes. The Maple Bluff Fire Department is not endorsing any particular manufacturer, vendor, or radio type, and realize there are radios on the market that were not tested. The radios seen in this test were selected by availability at the time of the test. We hope this video is useful and informative for you and your department.
[Repeater-Builder] Unlawful in Il to Rebroadcast Public Safety Communications
FYI It is now Against the Law in Il To Rebroadcast Public safety Communications including radio or Internet I know most of us in this Hobby are aware of all the Scanner Type Communications being linked d to the Internet. I always wondered about the legality of doing this especially living in one of the Few States that have an Anti Scanner Law against mobiles and Handhelds unless one is exempt. I always liked the idea of seeing something big on the News and finding a site from that area to listen to it Live . Well it looks like Il has put together a law against doing this I do not know about other states . Or how this is going to stop the On Line Scanner stations. Also as written unless I have permission it looks like I cannot rebroadcast the Amber Alerts which come out over My Emerg Weather Receive on My Repeaters I am sure others have this on the Repeters too This will be interesting to see if anyone is a actually charged with this Don KA9QJG Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance 20 ILCS 2615/11 new 20 ILCS 2615/12 new Synopsis As Introduced Amends the State Police Radio Act. Provides that a person receiving public safety voice or data communication transmitted via the facilities of the State's public safety radio system by wire or radio shall not, without the written authority of the originator of the communication, rebroadcast the communication via any means, including radio or Internet, or otherwise divulge or publish the existence, contents, substance, purport, effect, or meaning thereof. Provides that this provision does not apply to the public safety radio communication transmitted by any system station for the use of the general public, including Amber Alerts and other communications specifically intended for rebroadcast to the public. Provides that radio access to the public safety radio system within the State may only be accomplished upon receipt of written authorization granted by the appropriately licensed authority.

[Repeater-Builder] OT Kenwood TM-3530A T Tones
I have an Old Kenwood TM-3530A 220 Radio I need to be able to send TT To work on My Repeater Controller The radio works fine I have a TT Kenwood Mic Good Audio but NO TT , I took it apart and cleaned Everything and Still No TT , So I tried the Mic on My Kenwood TS-2000 Audio and TT Works fine. I downloaded the Manual and see that this Radio is the Same as TM-2570, TM-2550, TM-5550 E And TM-2530A I found that even without a TT Mic the Radio has built in TT Pad and Numbers can be stored in Mem I do not Hear any TT When I press them either . but I can hear them from the int Speaker but not in the Carrier . I did the Adjustments to increase them but nothing is heard any Thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated Thanks Don KA9QJG
