They pretty much have to. There is no way the FCC can mandate anyone to allow any/all other licensed hams use of their station. As I said from day one: this petition was doomed before it was written. Joe M. WA3GIN wrote: Thanks for the info, I suspect the FCC is going to frustrate

I'm surprised there's not more documentation for the Spectrum gear available on the web. I scanned in the paperwork from some receiver and transmitter strips I bought in 1995 and they seem to circulate around on the web. I've even found and re-downloaded them from various web sites when I

Did you open the preselctors? If it is a bright tin casting you may have a tin whisker problem. http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/mastr2/m2casting.html If not, I would suspect the first active device is shot. On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 2:39 PM, terry dalpoaskm...@yahoo.com wrote: Hi.  I

I've got the VHF version of the SCR-500, but the manual shows the crystal information for all the bands. I'm showing the same formula that you have below for the UHF 406-512 receiver. My manual is dated Edition 1, 7/87. It specifies that the mode is 3rd overtone. Did you get a 3rd overtone

OK, let's give this a shot here. I have (tried) to install a CAT 300DXL controller on my 7000. I programed the repeater to turn off all timers, tails, ID's, etc. Turned the repeater button (repeat) off and turned on (remote) button. I programmed the CAT300, EVERYTHING works except the repeated

Verify there is a jumper installed on the controller at J5 between pins 1 and 2 if you do not have an audio delay line installed. Also refer to: http://www.repeater-builder.com/yaesu-vertex-standard/vxr-7000/CAT-Note-11.htm On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 3:35 PM, n4zkfn4...@yahoo.com wrote: OK,

In that case make sure the COR polarity jumper on the DL-1000 is on the right setting and that the cable between the controller and the board is installed correctly. Also you may try installing the jumper back on J5 if you have bad delay board. On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 4:35 PM,
