There were on repeaters. They started out fine. As time passed I noticed
that the SWR was up slightly. It ended up being the ICE protector. There
were Polyphasers on other cables on the panel that were just fine. I've had

I've searched the forum and the internet for info on the talking clock option
on our rc-85 w/ v 5.2 firmware but found nothing so far. Our rc-85 is still in
use at 4000 ft so I'm collecting data before we visit the site.
Our manual and upgrade data was not been kept up to date over the last 20+
This argument can fall in line with all the other arguments online and on air

Hey guys,
I am sure many of you have been through this before.
The evil mice decided to waunder in to my repeater sight. Up until now they
avoided my repeater, but when I went up there, I was less than pleased.
They didn't chew any wires thank god, but they walked across the top of the

Jed,
Get a few cats and a big water dish and leave them there for several days.

70% Isopropanol Alcohal is my favorite cleaner. Make sure all power is off to
the radio, and give it a few minutes to evaporate before restoring power.

Hi Jed,
If you have mice, you are not in a controller environment. The mice have
taken control.

If we had been talking about ants, I would suggest a liberal amount of
chalk, or even cornstarch/baby powder, however we are talking about much
larger critters. I prefer snakes over mice. Snakes do a good job of eating
mice as well.
On a serious note though, be sure to were even a simple dust
Don't forget to wear a mask, mice droppings can carry disease.
We used to have problems with mice inside customers computer systems, we
did PM's every 6 months and would spray the inside of all the panels
with WD-40 and it kept them out of the inside of the systems.
If any has a problem
once cleaned ( only one way to do that) you need noise and lots of it as mice

Well sure.
Use a bleach/water solution. wear Tyvek coveralls, respirator,face shield and
rubber gloves. Look up Hanta virus. Mice carry it and it is bad news. Bring
lots of disposable rags or paper towels and double plastic bag the waste.
Bleach is far better at killing viruses than alcohol.

Get pet snakes to live at the repeater!
At the site out west I had 6 meter stuff in, the owner spread poison bait
outside, but that was mostly to get ride of the ground squirrels that
burrowed around the footings. It did keep the mice away too.

Use a mix of bleach and water (10% bleach) to clean all surfaces with
including any land mines left by the mice. I would also spray the floor area
around your radio so its wet, let it dry and then sweep it. I would use some
type of decon or the sticky traps and put moth balls in the radio
Most of the suggestions are very good , now the last site we had to seal
couldnt be because of the location so we mixed a topical powder ( supplied in
mice food blocks and ground) mixed with the heavy gravel meant to seal
firewalls around cable runs and poured it into the cavities then used
Yes, by all means DO NOT breathe the dust! I can't remember the name of the
disease, but it can be VERY nasty!
Wear a dust mask while cleaning. Decon does work well, but then you'll have
a bunch of dead mice to clean out - and if you're not there on a regular
basis they will stink.

You may not be seeing the answer you want to see.
Pulling from old memory cells, I think the RBI-1 pulls the COR from a serial
data stream connected through the Microphone Jack. I don't believe there is
a graceful way of pulling the data off a pin somewhere.
You may have to do surgery
Eric,
I was referring to commercial inline shorted-stub arrestors, such as those
made Huber+Suhner, that typically are intended for use at 800 MHz and higher
frequencies. I did not mean to imply that home-made quarter-wave stubs
cannot be used. In fact, instructions for fabricating just such a
But the GE file shows how to make a quarter-wave open-stub filter, not a

Perhaps we're splitting hairs, because the text in that bulletin states To
the spurious, the stub looks like a short... I agree that my choice of
words leaves unclear the difference between looks like a short and is a
short. Is it too late to invoke that handy disclaimer of vagueness,

I know I'm not trying to split hairs, but I believe the concern was to
actually use a DC shorted stub to help keep transmission line surges
shunted. You'd suggested a bandpass can, which works.
Anyway, that's why I jumped in.
