Whenever I install a repeater antenna or station antenna, I strive to use
good hardware. Preferably stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized. Every time
I try to purchase locally, I can never find the same size I used previously.
Does anyone have a GOOD source for stainless and hot-dipped U-Bolts
Tessco, Talley Hutton. My preference would be Talley since there prices
seem to a bit less than Tessco, however Tessco will most likely have what
you need in stock. There is a reason they are a bit more than the others.
When you carry that many lines it costs a bit to keep that inventory in
Chuck,
I buy all of my antenna-mounting hardware from either Tessco or
McMaster-Carr, and I'm seldom disappointed. What, exactly, do you want?

For this particular application I was looking for:
Stainless u-bolt
Pipe size 1.25 (1.75 OD)
5/16 thread size
Minimum 3.25 length
I just looked at Tessco and didn't find any stainless. There were some
hot-dipped, but haven't checked sizes yet.

Looks like they all have varying degrees of galvanized u-bolts, but didn't
see any stainless. I'll keep them in mind for galvanized, but would really
like to find a hardware supplier that has a broad range of these items.
Maybe I'm dreaming.

Chuck,
The McMaster-Carr item 29605T4 is pretty close to what you want, and is 316
stainless. If you need something with a deeper throat, consider making your
own U-bolt with stainless steel rod bent to shape, with the ends threaded.
I do not recommend using threaded rod, also known as all
The application is a small side-arm bracket. I made it from aluminum square
tubing. It got removed from the tower and I needed U-bolts for different
project so I borrowed them. Now I can't find that size again. It's pretty
obvious that I'll have to settle for a different u-bolt size and
Dunno about stainless steel U-Bolts, but our local Ace Hardware carries a

Just for grins, I checked the Ace website.
They had one u-bolt listed, and it just happened to be stainless.
They call it U-Bolt Wire Rope Clip which is a u-bolt guy wire clamp.
Price - $80.91 ea.

Hi all
i just pick up an big cabinet Micor repeater used on the Pager network.
it was functionning well,it is receiveing in UHF and her tx is in the 141 mhz
so applicable for ham use.
i have here an TLD8272B which is suppose to be an Receiver unit for it ???
what other parts i would need to
Gervais,
The TLD8272B receiver board is perfect for Amateur use, since it is designed
to operate in the 142-150.8 MHz band.
However, before the Micor specialists on this list can offer suggestions, we
need to know the part numbers stamped on the modules in the station, as well
as the model
I have a UHF GE MLS1 (eeprom one) that I would like to convert to the
ham frequencies. Has anyone tried this? Electrically, it looks
fairly straightforward. Has anyone tried out of band hacks for the
programmer or is that necessary? Any information would be appreciated.

I don't think you are, Chuck. Or else we're having the same dream weird.
I've never been satisfied with any U-bolt selection I've ever seen either.
And a lot of the time, they don't come with saddle clamps either; just a
flat plate which is not usually any good for mast/tubing applications.
Well

It sounds like that they are running the good old boys network down there

The same battery in all 5 other slots shows the expected

Have the coordinator get you a different channel. Don't mess with the sharing

Sorry Mike, I disagree. As you know,I spent about 10 years on the ORRC myself,

The other repeater was there first. The coordination council either (1) did
not have an accurate database and/or (2) did not research it throughly. Even

Hi Tom,
You can use GE MLS in Ham band with no troubles. You need the original GE
programmer to do this.
Its necessary to retune the RX and TX VCO near to 4.5 Volts. Looks for a

Good luck

Assuming that there area is like Denver and Portland that may be hard. If
there is other channels available take one and if you have a repeater that
used crystals make the FRC buck up and pay for the elements.

HI John,
I agree with to a point but the FCC will first ask the coordinating group
witch repeater is coordinated. That is exactly what Bin would do and has
done so in Oregon and Washington. If there is another channel available take
it.

If he calls the FCC, he will find he is SOL. Coordination is not
required, but when one repeater is coordinated, and the other is not,
the uncoordinated one must resolve the problem. That's in Part 97. It
doesn't matter who was there first. Part 97 makes no reference to
seniority. FRC's rules
And I will emphasize my previous point that you should call them ONLY
after all other resolutions have been tried. But, if there is no
acceptable alternative, you have the high road on the complaint.

Hi Mike!
I'm in partial agreement with you also, but there is something wrong with a
coordination council that coordinates a repeater on a freq that they knew
already had a repeater on it - even if it is expired.

In a perfect world you would be correct. But unforunately amateur
