[Repeater-Builder] wanted: N-female flange mount crimp connectors

2008-09-11 Thread kk2ed
I'm working on a few projects and need a number of N female flange mount style connectors, crimp style for RG58/142/400u cable. Similar to those found on the side of MSF5000 cabinets. Amphenol part # 082- 5372. Anyone have any? Have any of you folks recently needed to refresh your shop stock

[Repeater-Builder] Comspec TS32P encoder control

2008-09-11 Thread kk2ed
Has anyone controlled the encode function of a TS32P via a CAT controller's encode logic pin? I've wired several SCOM 7330s and Arcom RC210s to factory encoders in MS2000s, Micors, and even outboard TS32 encoders. The Scom and Arcom controllers can be configured to set their encode logic for

Be careful. The crimp ferrule for double-shielded coax (RG142/400) is thinner than what it would be for single-shielded coax (RG58) to allow more braid to fit under it, yet still use the same crimping tool. Many vendors don't know the difference, and you'll have a heck of a time pushing/forcing

Add a simple NPN transistor (and two resistor) inverter between the CAT and the TS32. Don't fight it, just put on your Borg hat and adapt. Of course you know that the CAT only enables its transmit PL when there's a valid COR signal on the input. You won't get PL activated on CW ID, courtesy

Thanks for the tip on the ferrules. I've run into that situation a few times, but have usually been able to make them work when needed. Who is hdcom? Never heard of them... I'll try to find them on the web. Thanks Eric --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Bob M. [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks, Bob. The NPN was my plan if no one had any better suggestion. All I'll need to do is tie the CAT's logic pin to a 10K pullup and 2n, then tie the collector to the TS32P's op amp input, and the emitter to ground. At least the CAT will enable the encoder based on rx activity of

Yup, that's all I'd do for an inverter. I have two repeaters using CAT200Bs and have had no problem with the audio. I never measured it to see how flat it was. It's not broadcast quality; it's not supposed to be. hdcom sells coax connectors, cables, etc. They're located on Lawn Guy Land. Bob
