Probably not going to be exactly what you want... but I'll throw this out for you. Hamtronics sells a grab bag of parts and the bag contains coils he/they Jerry/Hamtronics uses on/with their kits. I buy the grab bags and I have spare parts and parts to proto-type with... and they're cheap.

Tom, Your project brings back alot of memories. I do have a good assortment of low value mica caps (same physical size as used across helicals). Lots of 2pf on up to at least 10pf. I used many of the caps to Pad coils in Sensicon and Motrac rigs, in years gone by. I enjoy Motrac

Thanks to all for the advice about the Spectra that I connected reverse polarity power to. Replacing the big, honkin' diode near where the red power lead connects to the board solved the problem. Apparently, no other damage was done, despite my foolish oversight. And, thanks to Motorola for a good

Can anyone point me to an LBI for the following GE MastrII board? 19C320671G2 Intercom module I would like to review a schematic of this board and see how I can utilize it to source filtered/de-emphasized receive audio. Thanks Eric KE2D

[Repeater-Builder] GE MastrII CAS vs. RUS vs. RX Mute?

2009-12-17 Thread kk2ed
After looking over the LBIs and performing a few conversions, I have a question regarding which everyone feels is the best source for a CAS signal into a repeater controller - CAS, RUS, or RX Mute. In regards to a COS source, I see a number of publications and sites recommend CAS, then I see a

Eric, My GE microfiche reveals that LBI-4831, -30951, and -30965 contain information about the 19C320671G2 module. Alas, none of these LBIs is on the RBTIP GE listing. If you are unable to find any of the stated LBIs, I may be able to extract a (barely-readable) schematic directly from the

Thanks for the fast reply, Eric. I also spent the past hour or so downloading and reviewing various LBIs, only to reach your same conclusion. Google and Yahoo only yielded a few classified listings of boards for sale, and one 9-land ham has a few pics of one in his 6m conversion project.

Thanks for all the replies and the suggestions. I don't think I'm brave enough to try to get in there and change coil windings or capacitors in this radio; just too many tuned circuits and some are literally buried under a lot of active circuitry. Disassembling all of that just to get at

The 42 to 50 Mhz Motrac/Motran L receiver should tune 6 meters just fine EXCEPT for the crystal multiplier stage which will need 3 capacitors changed to lower values. If you are having trouble tuning the RF receiver front end, the manual tells you to remove the cover and use a signal generator
