Chuck,
I have successfully used standard 50 Ohm type N connectors on 75 Ohm CATV
coax. I purchased some brass tubing from a hobby shop that fit the ID of the
center pin of the 50 Ohm connector and sweat soldered a short piece to the
copper clad center conductor on the coax. With this modification
I went to the Anderson site and found the installation instructions. They do
recommend crimping the connection, but then do go on to discuss soldering.
So, I will agree that crimping, with the proper tool, would be the best
choice for reliable operation and is what the manufacturer recommends.
Skipp, I had some (small connectors) that were made by TYCO and they seemed
to have a much
better spring in them and it took a lot more force to pull them apart.
I suspect that soldering them may cause some of the problem, so I now have
the
proper' crimp tool.

re: Anderson Power Poles Revisited
Hi John,
I didn't have a problem with the mated connectors pulling
apart although without the locking hardware I suppose that
could be another problem.
My issue is with the tongue contact pressure of two mated
connectors. The metal quality is not good
Hi all,
I am new at the GE Mastr II gameIs there a point on the receiver board
where I can tap off to get an S meter reading? I would like to be able to
monitor the signal incoming. Also, be able to see if there is any rise in meter
reading with no signal coming in to check for desense
I had the same problem with the ones I bought from
an eBay seller.
Once I went to the real Anderson power poles that
the problems went away. The chinese made ones
slide together, the real Andersons snap together.
I had a friend of mine buy me a small stash of the
real ones from K7WWG
Where are you located? I have a portable HP storage scope.

Appreciate any advice.

yes, no problems.Just keep the drive between 1.5 and 2 watts, with the power
set adjusted for 80 watts or less at the antenna port...

Yes, there is a loose standard out there, but the two halves can be
configured several ways.
The standard's not very loose... if you buy just about any pre-made
Actually, West Mountain Radio has already created a de facto standard that
just happens to agree with the practice used by many ARES and RACES groups.
If you buy any of the Rig Runner or other DC power management products, they
will be configured to this standard polarization as shown here:
I have a Spectra converted for operation on the amateur portion of the 900
MHz band. This thing seems to be somewhat deaf - it barely opens squelch
while the same signal on a GTX (either handheld or mobile) is much stronger,
and when squelch is open, the signal; is markedly weaker. Is there
Mike,
After posting, I rigged up my Fluke 199C (200MHz) to the audio
generator through the powerpole connector.. I beat the heck out of the
connector to see if there would be any artifacts. I saw nothing.
If your HP scope is faster, I'll ship the pigtails to you for a sanity
check.
Not exaxtly. With two colors (black and red) there is the standard way,
reversed standard, 90 degrees to the right both ways (stacked), and 90
degrees to the left both ways (again, stacked, only reverse stacked).
There are also eight more ways using cross-polarization between the
two. That's
Yes there have been many 900 Spectras over the years that exhibit poor receive
sensitivity. Check the Rx/Tx antenna switch diodes. The receive shunting diode
may be shorted. This is caused by high reflected power.
The RF amp/mixer transistor goes soft and looses gain.

I've enjoyed the power pole debate, somewhat. The simple answer is that no
one solution fits every installation the best.
The power pole is a great 'solution' for many installations, and is probably
the hands down best for 'interoperability'. I have migrated almost
everything to power
Thanks!
Unfortunately, I do not have board layout or schematic diagrams with which
to locate the parts you referenced - can you send me a scan or photo of a
board indicating where the diodes might be? I also assume the RF amp/mixer
transistor is somewhere else, yes?

One more. Let me play Devil's advocate.
My mistake was buying terminals from a fellow ham
who bought in quantity. I also made a mistake
when I soldered some and used a crimp tool on
others. My crimp tool did not expand the barrel,
and the terminal still pushed freely into the housing.

My experience in industrial wiring with lugs,

Nope, this is a different kind of connector.
You must buy the connectors and a specific
crimp tool from only one manufacturer
This is fairly common on many products actually.

I have to correct something I said. I forgot that while the PPs are
genderless as far as the connectors go, the KEYWAYS are not, so half of
the 16 configurations will not mate.
As such, there are only 8 configurations that will mate.
