Larry, I think you are headed in the right direction. I have most of a MSF-5000 purc station and it has a UHF receiver much as you described your 72 MHz receiver. I was surprised when I removed the covers and found a Micor UHF receiver and Micor PL decoder inside the chassis.
I have the receiver, exciter, control shelf and some other misc parts from the station. I am still not sure which software to use to program the control shelf, but I figured International Crystal could reprogram the receiver and exciter to the new channel. I have a PURC5000 manual. If it covers the receive chassis that we both have, the connector pinout should be the same. When I get back to the house I will go have a look. 73, Joe --- In [email protected], "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I recently picked up a 72-MHz MICOR receiver off of the big auction site (won't mention the name lest someone get all [EMAIL PROTECTED]&!).. This MICOR receiver appears to be in a 3-1/2" high MSF-5000 series box, with the spring-loaded releases on the black front panel. It has a squelch control and an RJ-series jack on the front panel, and the rear panel has a BNC antenna jack, along with a 10-pin male plug. The Motorola P/N stamped on the rear is TRC1072AB, which might be just something like the rear panel number and not the complete assembly number. > > Does anyone know what series station this receiver was used in? I'd like to find the hookup info for it, and find a part number the 10-pin matching connector. I have plenty of actual MICOR receiver info, for receivers of all bands, and would like to use this as a UHF control receiver for a 2-Meter repeater. Repeated request for info emails to the original seller have not been responded to, so I"m trying here. One person in our shop felt it might be part of an MSF-5000 sereis paging station, with this 72-MHZ receiver used for control (maybe similar to a 330W MICOR PURC station on 42 MHz with its 72-MHz receiver, which I have sitting in my garage.) > Larry >
