The Motorola R56 manual is available as a 3-ring binder or a CD. The 3-ring binder is part number 68P81089E50-B and the CD is part number 9880384V83-O. Last time I looked they were about $100.00 from parts. Your local Motorola service shop should have a copy. Bill - WA0CBW

Wise builders, Anyone know how far into the Ham Band the UHF R1225 radio will really go? I know sometimes radio frequencies are limited by the RSS software, and sometimes the radios... and sometimes only by when the radio stops working. I'm interested in getting down into the 438-440

IIRC, EPTT (Kenwood) is an input not an output. Are you trying to have the Icom key up when the Kenwood receives a signal, or are you trying to have both radios transmit at the same time? Milt N3LTQ - Original Message - From: askjam [EMAIL PROTECTED] To:

I prefer the 10w version and running it at 1-2 watts with another amp -- I use those for repeaters, both VHF and UHF now (4 in service). As a link transmitter, I'd probably be running 10W versions at about 5W. My question is about how far down into the amateur 70cm band the radios will go?

Hi Tedd, I think typically DIN connectors are used in higher power situations (EME comes to mind) where the relatively small amount of current carrying metal used for N connectors just can't support the power pushed through the contacting surface area. DIN connectors solve this by having a

This is why it is always best to order a complete element, rather than to order just the crystal and install it in an element yourself. You will need to make trial and error changes in the capacitor values in your element until you can get it on freq. Make small incremental changes. Good luck, and
