John, What are you using for metering? do you have a motorolla test set? If not, get one or borrow one. What about a manual? the manual has suggested starting points for the slugs per frequency. If it is more than a few turns off, you will get no readings. I have tuned up several mitreks and made one repeater (not on the air yet, still building a duplexer) They are fun and easy if you have a manual and a test set. Check e-bay.
Other than that, I can't think of any tricks that you are missing The pinout of the round connector is on the website: http://www.repeater-builder.com/mitrek/pix/mitrek-rx-tuning.gif Be sure and visit all of the sites that are listed on the http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/mitrek-index.html page Good luck, "the other" John - KI4AWK ----- Original Message ----- From: "John" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2003 7:21 AM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Mitrek Radio Problem > Hello All, > > I am trying to tune up a Low Band Mitrek.
