Hello Stephen,
Just to let you know, a friend of me gave me a Motorola Maxtrac100 and like you he plug the power in reverse. The power plug was not made by Motorola and colours was reversed (without fuse). Here all the parts I changed, someone was shorted, open or completely destroy.

Glad to hear you were able to resurrect it! Mark - N9WYS -----Original Message----- From: Repeater-Builder@ <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> yahoogroups.com On Behalf Of Stephen M. Parker Thanks to all for the advice about the Spectra that I connected reverse polarity power to. Replacing the big, honkin' diode near where the red power lead connects to the board solved the problem. Apparently, no other damage was done, despite my foolish oversight. And, thanks to Motorola for a good engineering design! It's nice to find a friendly, helpful group like this one! Thanks again to those who responded to my plea. _____________________________________ Stephen, WR9A shortw...@verizon. <mailto:shortwave%40verizon.net> net __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4697 (20091217) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4697 (20091217) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4697 (20091217) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
