Re: [Repeater-Builder] Heat sink anyone?

The little metal standoffs can be robbed from the mobile donor heatsink,they knock out nicely from the bottom with a drift. I have hand redrilled the heatsinks,its a thankless,tedious job. 73,Lee ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Flowers To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 2:09 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Heat sink anyone? The only two that interchange I know of are the late 110 w VHF & 75/100 w UHF.  The early 110 w vhf that uses 4 transistors in the final and the low band may interchange.  I have both and I'll look.   Not only do you have to drill & tap all the holes.  You have to rob the little metal stand offs from someplace, to hold down the circuit board.  I've done it on a drill press but a Bridgeport would be easer & more precise.   Fred KF4QZN   ----- Original Message ----- From: Virden Clark Beckman Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 12:56 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Heat sink anyone?   Actually it doesn't, most of the heat sinks are band specific unless you want to drill and tap about 20 some 6-32 and 14 4-40 holes in the aluminum to hold components down - I did it and it is a very tedious project. -- 73...Clark Beckman N8PZD Your use of Yahoo!
