[Repeater-Builder] Wanted: Motorola PT-400 Lunchbox radio
Hi everyone! I have been contacted by a group which is involved in a restoration project at the Reagan Ranch and they are in need of a Motorola PT-400 for one of their artifacts. I looked through my own pile and all I have left is a PT-500 which won't work for them. So I promised that I would post it here. If you have such a thing and can help then please contact Danielle Fowler direct at the following address: daniel...@reaganranch.org %3cdaniel...@reaganranch.org%3e Thanks! - Darrell/KA7BTV
[Repeater-Builder] Wanted: G.E. VHF HB UHS preamp
Bought one several years ago from Kevin @ the Repeater-Builder booth in Dayton. Works very well (~0.13 µV for 12 dB SINAD on the MVP it's in), but now I need another one. Got another one, Kevin? If not, does anyone else? BTW, I did the antenna-load sensitivity substitution test last night on 2 MVPs, one with one without the preamp. The MVP with no preamp showed ~5 dB SINAD degradation between the antenna load. With that much noise coming down the antenna, reducing the noise figure of the RX doesn't help much, maybe a dB or two. But once you throw in the duplexer loss, which in this case is 2.1 dB, the antenna noise is reduced to only 3 dB over the load. Now the preamp improves actual sensitivity by 3 dB, which is just enough to make it worthwhile to use IMO. In addition, this will be for a portapeater that will be deployed in a rural area so the antenna noise will probably be lower. Bob NO6B

[Repeater-Builder] Wanted: Stabilock 4015 RF Unit
I have been unlucky with my Stabilock 4015 lately. First of all some may ask why didn't you get a HP, and I will tell you that over here in Europe HPs are just not nearly as widespread as in the US. First the computer board was faulty and I finally sent the monitor to a specialist in Germany for diagnosis who found a solution for the computer. But he told me that there was also a problem with the RF Unit (either I had never noticed it or it went bad while the computer wasn't working) and that this unit needs replacing. Trying to repair it would almost certainly be of no avail. He wouldn't want to repair it himself (he was fair and said he would feel bad for ripping me off as a success is too uncertain) and I don't have the lab equipment to even try it. Willtek (that's the name of the manufacturer now) offers exchange units but as a technical university student I can't afford the prices they're asking. Therefore I am looking for a used but working RF Unit so that I can continue to use my Stabilock, if anybody has one or knows somebody who has please get in touch with me. Thanks. 73 Martin HB9TZW

The Mastr II mobile has never been my favorite for repeater conversions, as I always get exciter to LO coupling resulting in TX spurs RX desense. But for the ones I've done I use the existing SO239 for the RX connection pop a hole in the side of the chassis right next to the antenna relay mount a coax-fed BNC bulkhead there.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax
I really don't like using Superflex (FSJ) outdoors. The jacket on FSJ is much thinner than it is on LDF, making it easier to get water in due to a small nick. Also, the corrugation on FSJ is helical (spiral), whereas LDF is annular (rings). The helical corrugation also makes it easier for water to spiral down the line in the vent you get a knick in it somewhere along the vertical run. Granted, the effects of water trapped between jacket and shield isn't a huge problem; it's when the water gets forced into the connector body and ends up flooding the contact interface that you really have a problem... If you want the installation to last, hold out for LDF. You might find 7/8 cheaper on the surplus market than 1/2 because it's more commonly used, especially in longer lengths. --- Jeff WN3A -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Chris Curtis Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 5:13 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax I appreciate the tips on where to find the stuff.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax
Chris, I'd use LDF for the long run, and FSJ for jumpers. Also, you'll need a short jumper of RG-213, 9914, or similar at the antenna end to allow you to rotate the beam(s). I don't think the FSJ is meant to be *THAT* flexible. FWIW - I run 1/2 Heliax to my 2m/70cm stick at the top of my tower, with a short section of 9914 from the Heliax to the antenna itself. Inside the shack, I use FSJ1-50 (I think that's the nomenclature - it's 1/4, RG-58 diameter) as jumpers to the rigs - no more than 3' in length.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax
I posed this question to Tessco a few years ago regarding the use of FSJ cable outdoors. Evidently there were concerns years ago regarding the use of FSJ, or Superflex cables for antenna jumpers. I was assured that any past problems have been resolved. I never verified this with the manufacturer. 73, Joe, K1ike Chris Curtis wrote: Now, I understand fsj is the flexi but is it really that bad to install from antenna to shack?
RE: [Repeater-Builder] WANTED: heliax
You want the 1/2 FSJ for minimum loss in the line. the 1/4 cable will have about twice as much loss. With Heliax cable larger is better, up to what your pocket book can handle. -- Doug N3DAB/WPRX486/WPJL709 Chris Curtis demo...@rollanet.org wrote: = I appreciate the tips on where to find the stuff.

[Repeater-Builder] wanted: N-female flange mount crimp connectors
I'm working on a few projects and need a number of N female flange mount style connectors, crimp style for RG58/142/400u cable. Similar to those found on the side of MSF5000 cabinets. Amphenol part # 082- 5372. Anyone have any? Have any of you folks recently needed to refresh your shop stock of connectors? I mean quality connectors like Amphenol? Make sure you are sitting down! I recently needed to order some N Male connectors for RG214, and what I used to pay $4-5 for is now $10+, even wholesale! DAMN!!! I should have invested in connectors rather than the market! In Dayton this year I hit every used vendor and bought all the new/unused UG21 N males I could find, and wish I could have found more. Seems like I never have enough of them. Anyway, I'm also looking for Amphenol UG21 (aka 82-202) N males as well. Anyone have surplus stock to sell? Eric KE2D 609-713-3742
Re: [Repeater-Builder] wanted: N-female flange mount crimp connectors
Be careful. The crimp ferrule for double-shielded coax (RG142/400) is thinner than what it would be for single-shielded coax (RG58) to allow more braid to fit under it, yet still use the same crimping tool. Many vendors don't know the difference, and you'll have a heck of a time pushing/forcing the ferrule down over two layers of braid. The proper connectors are a snug fit but can be pushed down with strong fingers. Same thing goes for full-size connectors. RG213 (single-shield) vs RG214 (double-shield) ferrules are quite different. The inside diameter is over 20 thousandths smaller on the 213 connectors and it will not fit over two layers. Been there, done that. Any problem with buying RF Connectors from places like hdcom?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equivalent for radio programmming
CF-27's are probably as easy or easier to find and maybe cheaper on Ebay... We have been using them for DOS radio RSS programming for a long time... and generally the batteries cost more than the laptop...many are 300/350 mhz processors, some 500-550 mhz...

I think I paid $90.00 for it plus shipping...and it has a win2k COAas well...Probably a good choice for 99.9% of what needs to be programmed in the radio world...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equivalent for radio programmming
Thank you all for the advice. However, I have had no success with using XP (or finding a DOS startup option..are you sure you're not confusing XP with WIn98SE?). Maybe you have a dual boot setup? Remember I need to use Moto RSS for the MT-1000 and Spectra. The only machine I have had luck with is a P1 processor at 166 mhz running WIn98SE. I've tried faster laptops and desktops...P2s and P3's with both XP and WIn98 with no luck at all. (Win98 is always started in DOS mode, never a DOS window).

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equivalent for radio programmming
There is no DOS startup internal to XP, however you can make a DOS boot floppy from the Format A: floppy screen. The trick is you need to partition the hard drive into 2 partitions 1 fat32 and pretty much needs to be less than 1024 mb and the rest as NTFS for XP to use...Copy all the DOS programs to the fat32 partition, and when you boot from floppy with the boot disk you created in XP foramtting tab, the DOS fat32 partition will be visible as C : to the floppy command and interpretter... go to C:xx as you would normally and it will run fine The only way to have DOS startup from XP is to have a DOS disk overlaid with XP in fat32 mode.. not NTFS, and that is far from a stock install... The entire process I listed above can be done on a new XP install by short installing the hard drive by 1 meg or so, and reserve that to convert to a fat 32 partition later...then let XP install the rest of the drive as it normally would.. after that you can go into disk manger and format the remaining extra disk space as fat32 and put whatever DOS stuff you want on it then a boot floppy will get you to it... It sounds a lot more complicated than it is... Doug At 01:07 PM 6/13/2008, you wrote: Thank you all for the advice.

Re: RE: [Repeater-Builder ] Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equival ent for radio programmming
In Windows XP and before when one selects START one will get the window for shutting down. One selection is to restart in DOS. Also one can find a DOS prompt usually in the START program section. I am assuming you want to get the full old screen level and not the Windows window with DOS prompt. Once you get into DOS and then are finished simply enter exit at the DOS prompt (C) and you will return to Windows unless you came up in DOS. Many computers seem to have a way of forcing one into Windows aside from the autoexec and other start ups. I still use a PC with DOS...it is my parts programmer. Turn on, comes up in DOS and loads the programmer. Never goes to Windows. I used a few times today. If it aint broke don't fix it. 73, ron, n9ee/r From: Ken Arck [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: 2008/06/12 Thu PM 06:34:36 EDT To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Wanted to buy: Panasonic CF-25 laptop or equivalent for radio programmming At 02:53 PM 6/12/2008, Barry C' wrote: Doesn't the machine just need a suitable port and speed ? , the toughbook isn't a must ? ---I use a new generation Athlon based laptop (3800) which I boot directly to DOS and have no problem at all with RSS for the MSF5000 at least.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wanted, 2 N-male to N-Female jumbers
I very often can find heliax jumpers with N connectors on Ebay. Some with M-M and some M-F. Looked last night and a number of 5 foot cables readily available. Also, one can try: http://www.surpluscoax.com/index.html for good deals on heliax and connectors. Not that hard to make jumpers. Just buy the amounts of cable you need/want over all, plus connectors, and assemble your own. Note that UHF connectors (PL259, etc.) are usually higher in cost that the N connectors for the same cable sizes. there are other sellers of Heliax at good prices. Yet some selling at list or near list for what is now considered obsolete. Note that HRO sells the 7/8 Andrew Heliax like I bought for %4585 per 100 feet. I paid either $2.45 or $2.55 per foot, and very reasonable shipping, plus I bought connectors made for the cable at reasonable prices. 1/2 heliax available at $1.45 - $1.55 per foot, the latter being the superflex, easier to work with for jumpers. With a bit of searching, one can often find jumpers or materials to make same.
