Everyone, today I tried contacting Motorola parts for a manual and/or schematic for the Master Decoder module I have, Part #TLN5803A.
Needless to say, navigating Motorola's call-handling system was a real trip. First I ended up with someone in "Cell Phones", then someone in "Recreational Radio". I finally ended up with Don in "Commercial Radio"... Don put life and limb at risk by venturing into the old archives. Unfortunately they no longer have any manuals available which refer to this module. :-( He WAS able to give me the manual numbers for the MICOR manuals, but I already have them all. When I asked about the MSY-series station manuals, he said those have been NLA since 1976 or so... So I'm here again to plead with those who have old libraries of Motorola manuals -- PLEASE check your stash to see if you may have anything for the MSY-series community repeater. (Possible model number C74MSY-3101BY or similar - the "BY" is the key here, I think.) I have seen a older MSY-series station on eBay with this card in the chassis, so hopefully someone out there has the manual for it. I *REALLY* need this schematic to get my repeater going... Thanks, Mark - N9WYS / WQIV271 -----Original Message----- From: Eric Lemmon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Mark, It's a long shot, but you might try calling Motorola Parts ID at 800-422-4210 and asking for the publication number that covers the TLN5803A. Coincidentally, I found a TLN5803A listed as one of the modules in a C74MSY-3101BY station on eBay. I just happen to have an MSY manual, but it applies to the BT repeater; I'm guessing that the BY is a community repeater. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: n9wys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Apparently Kevin has shut the list down for a while... :-( Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: n9wys [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Eric, The Master Control module I have is: TLN5803A The module referenced in my manual is: TRN6165A. The manual's module is definitely a newer design - it is IC-based (two chips on the board). My modules are "pre-IC" -- no chips at all. I've also seen cover designs for (what I believe is) an earlier version of the Comm. Rptr. manual supplement, so there is at least one version prior to the one I have... Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] On Behalf Of Eric Lemmon Mark, What is the number stamped in black ink directly on the PCB of the master control module? I know you recently received the community repeater manual, and that manual doesn't contain the information on that module? Odd... 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY
