Re: [Repeater-Builder] BRAMCO Reeds
BRAMCO reeds were made for a number of 2-way companies over the years, the color of the reed in meaningless. Each manufacturer selected what they wanted, light blue, dark blue, red, silver, bronze, etc. likewise, coil impedances were variable as well, from 500 to 5K ohms. if you have the stock number, usually beginning with an A0, I can probably tell you what you have. Decoders can be used as senders, however the drive is higher to get them to fire off reliably. note too that the Bramco reeds are position sensitive... especially below 100 hz...if you are going to use mechanical reeds for an application, try to get old Motorola gold reeds, TU217 sender and TU333 sponder, they were better in all aspects, especially sensitivity to close in the sponder reeds.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] BRAMCO Reeds
Wa back when (~25 yrs.), I picked up a Bramco 2+2 decoder at a hamfest for $2.00. Jumpered around the second decoder chain to make it a plain 2-tone sequential decoder and used it with a R/S scanner for my local FD dispatch tones. Seems to me I used Motorola 'sponder reeds from a Pageboy in it, and it worked FB Memories.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] BRAMCO Reeds
Try to even find a 2+2 decoder today they are no longer even in production. I believe Bramco was the last to produce them and they don't anymore.
