28-29 amps is on the high side. Are you using the amp at more than maybe 5 MHz or so from the original frequency? Some of the Milcom/Crescend amps are tunable, but many used fixed-value metal-clad mica capacitors in the base and collector matching. The values of the caps and/or their placement

No, I did every thing from the RB station to repeater conversion instructions. My problems with the Xmitter involve fluctuating audio deviation levels. It is frequency stable and I have a solid 75-78 watts out of the cans. Thanks for your concern and keep up the good work. de Lee K4LJP 73 On

Start with the basics: 1. Clean all of the contact pins and female contacts with a good contact cleaner like Deox-It. When re-installing each of the boards/cards, check check to make sure that all of the male pins are straight and that none of the female contacts have spread - tighten up by

Jeff, I suspect the IDC pot as well. I have sprayed and readjusted it before. Sometimes it lasts for five days, and sometimes it's 5 months. Last time was about three months ago, it is still OK, I've got my fingers crossed. Thanks, de Lee K4LJP 73 On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 10:59 AM, Jeff DePolo

Could be a lot of things. If you are running a PL tone, the level may be too low and your voice is causing talk off. Could be you are falsing the controller's touch tone decoder and it's programmed to not pass audio when it hears a tone. Could be deviation is too high somewhere and you are

Chuck is right... So we need to ask: Does this phenomenon happen to just YOUR transmissions, or with everyone's transmissions?? You need to determine WHERE the problem is occurring before you can troubleshoot further. Mark - N9WYS -Original Message- From:

Check the deviation levels of your voice and the PL tone (if used), and verify that they are compatible with the repeater's receive bandpass. In some radios- Alinco and Icom are typical- the PL tone is way too high in deviation, and gets distorted when voice peaks push the total deviation into

If the system that you are using has CTCSS then it sounds like your voice at times is causing the tone to not be decoded causing your voice to cut out. This happens if your deviation is too wide and/or your mic volume is too high. David From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

Hi Jeff, Thanks for the reply. I too, thought that it was drawing a little too much current. The unit has a sticker on it that says 450 to 470 and I'm testing it with a MastrII exciter on 442.800. So, you're probably right in what's going on. I'm going to see if I have an ICOM for my
