Does anyone know if the TS-64 can be fully connected to the H4
connector inside of the controller. I just read this on their site,
but am unclear about if I just hook each wire as they say, but what
about the transmit part. Anyone familiar with this that can assist
me with it. Thanks.
Anyone know of a good source for made up custom cables for repeater
use. Or might someone have what I am looking for. I need a jumper
about 3.5' that has an N Male connector on one end and an RCA
connector on the other. This is for my receiver from the duplexer.
It is a mastr receiver,
RCA plug to BNC jack adapters are readily available.
With that adapter all you need then is a N to BNC
cable, much easier to find or make.

GE used an RCA connector with a short center pin,
unlike what you buy today. Make sure that, if you do
get the long pin version, it doesn't short out on
anything under the jack on the chassis.

The problem with TESSCO is they charge $7.00 per connector to install them
plus the cost of the hard-line and connector. That's $14.00 some folks out

Someplaces will perform a free sweep if you buy the cable, connectors and
installation of connectors from them.
Most recent cable I purchased was 55 feet of LD4F-50A, with Andrew N Type
male connectors installed on both ends with a sweep for $210.00 plus
shipping.

My 2 cents would be to replace the connector on the receiver
adapterators are nothing more than an invitation for gremlins to sneak
into your system... not to mention added impedance bumps... added
losses... potential connection problems... etc... etc etc
I like the KISS
I would buy the cable with what ever connector I need on each end from the
get go.

Hello Mark,
The answer is yes they work very well on both two meter (Kenwood TKR-750)
and wonderful on 440 (Kenwood TKR-850) they just came out with a ver. two
for the 850 and it does a few more things. Contact me direct and I will pass
along who I buy Kenwood repeaters from and they sell them
Bob,
You are on the same track as I am... I just think the ability to replace
the cable with a readily available jumper would simplify things in case of
a failure. Downtime can really hurt if it is a paying client in the
emergency services arena.

They also sell the Kenwood Service Manual's at a fair price. I have bought

With the finger printing software out now, yes, by looking at the display
or printed data, the individual radio can be identified. I do not mean that
they can tell the difference between a MICOR and a MASTR. That is easy.
They can identify the specific radio that transmitted. It appears that
