Anyone have a service manual for an IFR COM-120B? I am in need of a schematic for the internal power supply module. IFR wants big bucks for a manual, and Google searches have been fruitless. Thanks Eric KE2D

As a matter of fact, I'm playing with one right now. If anyone has schematics or a service manual with schematics it would be greatly appreciated and would aid my efforts tremendously. Or any information on the mobile radio that was used with these would help as the repeaters seem to share the RF

From a friend of mine who runs more commercial 220 MHz system in the US than almost anyone else. As far as the Securicor radio, I don't think it programs on ham bands, and only later versions of the mobile had talk-around (simplex). The repeaters were set up for trunked use only. They make

As I recall the Control channel was FM for some reason.. and voice was LM They made a mess of the spectrum around them when they occupied sites with other 220 systems.. including themselves.. We had a site with (2) 5 channel Securicor trunks. They could never run both at once as the

Hi Folks, I was perusing the 'for sale' list on QRZ.com the other day, and came across a suitcase repeater which had a spectra control head visible. I was wondering how they did it. Can a spectra be turned into a repeater? Did they use two separate Spectras a single head? Inquiring minds

There have been times when during events it would have been great if two different repeaters had been linked. I've been kicking around the idea of a portable repeater linker consisting of one VHF Radius, one UHF Radius, and a RICK controller in the crossband mode. I've talked to the different

[Repeater-Builder] Coiling excess coax.

2009-11-09 Thread ab6li
