[Repeater-Builder] Zetron Integrator Programming?

2008-05-23 Thread whp 






Anyone out here experienced in using the Zetron RDPS software to program Zetron Integrator RD?

I'm following what little there is in the manual but can't seem to get buttons onto the screen. Their description of drag and drop works only for menu buttons in the window dressing but notfor channel buttons.

Would also like to remove as much of the "window dressing" as I can as we are implementing all 48 channels thru the transition.

Thanks and happy holiday,

Skipp,

Once I get the pattern I can use RM to calculate all the other stuff I need 
to know so the height, terain and other info you request is irrelevant to my 
current task: plot the antenna pattern as installed on the tower.

Last time I looked in the catalog Stationmaster type antennas are omni when 
mounted in free space.  However when mounted offset on the side of a tower 
taint necessarily so.  Hence my querry.
So far Adam responded with a program that might help.  I need to determine if 
it (the program) can take the tower surface area into account to let me factor 
in the rather oddball tower we're on.
Then, having the apparent patterns, I can use RM to do LR plots and perhaps see 
why we're having unexpected dead spots and play cut and try on alternative 
tower locations.  Unfortunately we can't top this tower as the tower owner is 
already using that spot.

Bill, 

How high is the tower above the area (on a mountain or valley 
floor)? HAAT (height above average terain)?  Where is the tower 
in relation to the metro areas you want to cover?  Is portable 
coverage a big deal?  What big objects (mountains and conservative 
republicans :-) block the coverage? 

Type of antenna?  Band of operation?  Single Antenna? 

cheers, 
skipp

 I'm trying to build a case for moving out club's repeater system
 transmit antenna up the tower a bit.  Right now the antenna is a
 stationmaster side mounted about 90' up a large tower.  It's about 3'
 off the corner of the tower which, at that level is about 4' on each
 side with a section of Rohn 25 up the center as a cable conduit; NO
 cables are permitted to run up the tower legs.
 I want to calculate the apparent pattern and, in turn, load that data
 into RM and see just how bad the nulls are and what the effect would
 be of moving it up another 45', to the opposite side and 6' off that
 corner.  Since we must have an insured pro do all climbing the try it
 and see approach isn't an option.
 Any suggestions for a calculator that would accept the necessary
 variables (offset, face, position off the corner or face?

 If I were you, I'd get my hands on a spectrum analyzer. Many radios 
 like that do not like to run at a lower than designed power level. 
 I've seen radios like that go spurious. Remember to attenuate the 
 incoming signal to the analyzer just enough, so that you don't 
 overload it. Otherwise you may see things on the screen that aren't 
 really there, leading you down a wrong path..

You should also keep an eye on the current drain as you back down the output, 
stopping just before the point where the current doesn't drop in proportion to 
the output.  That power has to go somewhere and you don't want it going to the 
heat sink!

Neil,

That would be one of the old long lines sites. Take a look for the site log
book should be at the main door on a stand on the wall. It is like a ships
log. neat to read.  What is the site name? They are listed on the web with
some of the history.

  A local former ATT site quite near here, I can walk to in five
 minutes, is currently being scrapped out for recyclable metals.

  A couple of week ago, I got to talking to the crew manager (title?)
 asking if I look inside.  He said to bring my flashlight as the
 power to the building had been cut.  (the power meter was gone.)

  A quick walk through said all of the precious metals were long
 gone, heavy copper wire, large pieces of aluminum anything from
 the cornucopia horns, copper wave guide, brass fittings ... all
 of it gone already.

  I scrounged a pile of HP test equipment, Motorola MSF5000 and
 Syntor manuals, a few rolls of solid conductor wire, a couple of
 handfulls of coaxial adapters, some patch cords and other
 miscellaneous.

  The crew is supposed to return tomorrow (gone for the holidays)
 and, hopefully, they'll let me back in for a couple of rack panels
 of 5 amp magnetic DC circuit breakers - I know of a local model
 railroad club who
