Jan has been very troublesome in the 25+ years I have been a ham, you hear
of a lot of complaints.
Bomar gave me a couple of bum crystals and then a few that drifted back in
the days 2M crystal radios. I used them since they were a few towns away
from me in NJ but I quit using them.

Sorry my error they are not in Ontario but in Kelowna, BC brain spaz there.

MPH units were dogs... I know I repaired and recertified them for several
years. At least in FL X band (10 GHz) was
not valid even before 1993. I am saying that I THINK X band was out of the
picture nationwide at that time but I never saw it in
writing so I cant bet my life on it.

Yes please do use a fan. I have seen that even though you reduce power you
are correct that too low makes the radio unstable in many ways. Lower RF

Steve.. he seems oh so eager. Be really sure of why he is so eager to sell
with no apprasial.
Have you attempted to contact other apprasiers for a lower quote ? One VERY
important thing
to look into is an Enviromental Study. With many of the ATS Microwave Tower

I just got a Zetron Model 38 Repeater Controller. Is there any difference
between the 38 and the 38A which is currently listed on their web site. I
have never owned a Zetron Controller before and have never used their items
except for their 2-Tone Encode/Decode Line.
Any bad or good things to say
I think the real issue is that the local
stores do not carry even simple parts anymore like resistors and solder 9 pin DB
connectors. I know at least in this area where I have 3 RS's within a 30 minute
drive only one
has the solder DB connectors and the other 2
do not even have them

Is anyone using the above weather radio (FIPS) interfaced to their
controller?
I had the opportunity today to catch a Tornado Warning and the radio
outputs 7.5v DC on the controller. I am not 100% sure how the output behaves
but I did notice that later on the output went to 0v. BUT I had been
Most repeaters that I know of both commercial and public safety, and the
more technical ham ones with very few exceptions operate with PL on COS. It
just
makes plane sense since those who need to hear everything (ID's, Courtesy

Laser Printer ?? What's a laser printer ? grin
I wonder if they make that stuff for ink jet printers now, I heard rumor.
I had a laser printer (Panasonic) that still sit's on the shelf today
but has not worked for years due to a bad drum, I think it's time to get rid
of it.
Are laser printers
Another thing to keep in mind is what type
of support is it? I remember many years ago noise bursts would show up soon
after rain when we had a bit of wind on a local VHF repeater, it ended up as the
used connector they had installed on the 7/8th and of course on the top side.

I bought several of them for a project and ended up with some extras. I

The PA's can be turned down but thre is a
limit..I have not bothered looking how low it will go but I am sure the Micor PA
probably needs in the area of 350mw or so and I doubt you can do that. I don't

I agree... I have used EchoStation in the past as an announcement machine
and also a way to do the ARRL Report. Very reliable...I don't use it as a
repeater controller but I am sure it would do just fine as others have
stated. It does not take very much to build a repeater and $10 will do the

one. You will need to go to $10 and $15 to sell fast and in quantity.
Mitreks are good radios but the influx of cheap Delta's and Rangers (no need
for crystals)has really made the market tight for crystal rigs.

I checked that link and all it takes me is to a form to check on prices of
different monitors. Poked in other parts of the web site and don't see much
else.
I would be interested in that information myself and also how to set up a
General Dynamics R2590 to do the same thing.

have my own IFR repaired. I do not run a business so cost is a major factor
but I would like to have my IFR-1200S repaired properly.
