RE: [[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Help]

[Kevin Bednar]

Unfortunately, we have NO usable radio right now. The old Mastr II was tossed a few weeks back and the POS Spectrum will be following shortly. :( I am actually in need of a complete UHF radio to convert now. :( Thanks for your reply though! I really appreciate all the help I get from this group!   Kevin K2KMB From: Maire Company [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 8:21 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Help] what kind of Micro parts do you need?   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Bednar To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 7:56 PM Subject: RE: [[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Help] Thanks Jim. I already checked the local shops, no luck. I'll keep looking.   Kevin K2KMB From: James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 7:44 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [[Repeater-Builder] Repeater Help] Good luck,  If you check with some of your local Motorola shops, Micors are coming out of service regularly (if any are left, I know we had a few). Micors and MastrII's in their virgin forms can be had cheap or free in many cases. Even if you get a mobile style of either, it is good.

A few new transistors, etc. and some TLC and that would work better than any ham grade stuff. unless of course it is lightning toast. James Kevin Bednar wrote: Unfortunately Joe, everything for this project is being donated for an OEM/RACES project to improve county coverage, specifically because of the lack of $$. I also wanted a Mastr II (got one donated but upon further inspection was missing a board and the PA was toast.) or a Micor but unfortunately no one was able to donate one. I myself would not want to go the ebay route because I wouldn't want to screw someone else over with the same POS problems I'm experiencing with it. Thanks.

(such as a used MASTR II or Micor) Personally, I wouldn't do that to someone else, but it is your choice. Joe M.

I didn't pay for it so that's why I was trying to get it working. Thanks.

It should then perform well if you used good replacement parts.

Receive seems to work fine but the TX freq drifts after a few minutes no matter how many times I reset it. It has the TCXO option in it but it doesnt seem to matter. Any Ideas on what might be causing this? Spectrum has been LESS than helpful, other than to say "we discontinued it over 10 years ago and can't help you" and "we can sell you a manual if you want though!". Thats great. Also, does anyone know what mods are needed to run this unit with an outboard controller, as the Spectrum one sucks. Any and all help is GREATLY appreciated! Kevin K2KMB Yahoo!
