I was recently given a HAL ID-1000 identifier. It's a 1RU cabinet device with connections and test jacks on the back. Seems to be diode-matrix programmed. Wouldn't mind setting it up for my call and maybe using it for something down the road. Does anyone have a manual or any idea how it is

The diagram for the adapter box also shows +13 Vdc is also routed to one of the pins in the same plug (as well as ground) so I have to figure out if that's a requirement or just an addition to the adapter package. I did see where +13 Vdc was supplied to another location on the repeater

How about a 7809 regulator IC with a 1N4004 diode in the ground leg to raise the output voltage to 9.6V? I was envisioning mounting it to something metal for heatsinking purposes, but I guess you could probably use one of the screws on the backplane plus a little TO220 heat sink.  Whatever

Hi all. Built up a copy of the DC supply that was in a old Micor manual.  Used the caps and filter choke from an old supply.  Add a LM 317 with heat sink.  Added MOV's and additional hf caps.  Seemed to work fine. This fed a full micor repeater with all the normal modules.  Worst case

In that case Just a straight 7809 or 7810 also would not require isolating the tab and can be mounted straight to the metal chassis. If it were me, I'd just use a 9 or 10 volt three terminal regulator (7809 or 7810) and skip the whole LM-317 or diodes in the ground leg deal.  It only serves to
