Hi everyone, I am going to post this message here because batlabs didn't approve my post. Apparently it's too harsh to tell people, "PLEASE DO NOT TELL ME TO HAVE SOMEONE ELSE DO IT."
I am looking for information on how exactly to re-tune a channel element for a MSR repeater. I've seen instructions as far as what to adjust on the element itself, but what I really need to know is; what equipment is required, how to hook that equipment up to the channel element, and what to look for while adjusting the channel element. Now I realize that I need a new crystal as well, and I realize it can all be done professionally with temperature compensation. But what I want to know is how I can do it myself just to get started and make sure everything is going to work the way I want before I pay out big bucks to have it all done the right way. I have an extra set of channel elements, so playing around with one set isn't going to affect having the other set done professionally if I mess something up. Thanks for any help you can give me, Jeff - KB1SPH / WQEX694
