[Repeater-Builder] Re: Repurpose a Mitrek UHF PA

2009-05-31 Thread Joe Burkleo
Eric,
Could you please give us a little more information please.

What radio are you presently using for your UHF repeater? Does it have a preamp 
and if so what type? How much power out of the repeater transmitter do you 
presently have? 

Also what are you currently using for a duplexer and antenna feedline?

The answer to these questions will help us determine if a move to a 100 watt PA 
is technically a sound move, or if other parts of the system will need to be 
upgraded as well to support the higher transmitter power level.

While a lot of repeaters and links are made from Mitrek's including some of 
ours, I do not consider a Mitrek mobile PA to be continuous duty in any 
fashion, although at reduced power levels with added forced air cooling they 
perform very well.

[Repeater-Builder] Repurpose a Mitrek UHF PA

2009-05-31 Thread Eric Grabowski

A local ham radio club wants to add a 100 watt continuous duty power amplifier 
to their UHF repeater. They have available a 110 watt PA from a Mitrek mobile 
and some massive heat sinks. 

It doesn't appear that it would be very difficult to transplant the Mitrek PA 
onto one of the heat sinks and then mount that assembly to a 19-inch rack panel 
for installation in the repeater cabinet.

Before I spend a lot of time on this effort, however, I'd like to know if 
anyone has done this before and, if so, is a how-to article available 
somewhere. Thanks for the bandwidth.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Antenna separation for UHF repeater operation

Rule of thumb is that you need at least 10 times the distance of 
vertical spacing if you use horizontal spacing.  In other words, 15 feet 
of vertical spacing is equal to 150 feet of horizontal spacing.

Although I don't have my programming computer in front of me, you need 
to go to the last thing in the tree and add each personality for the 
channels you added high up in the tree.  They will apear in the radio's

is a bad animal to program, be glad your not adding trunk sites to a

I'm planning on installing a GMRS repeater and I would like to use two antennas 
instead of a Duplexer/Antenna combination.  What would be a good separation 
distance for a standard Split of 5 MHZ, two 5 dB antennas an 35 Watts of power?.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Antenna separation for UHF repeater operation

2009-05-31 Thread Eric Lemmon
If we assume that both antennas are identical and mounted inline and
directly one above the other, and assuming a receiver sensitivity of 0.25
uV, a vertical spacing of 39 feet should provide sufficient isolation
between RX and TX.  This assumes solid-shield RX feedline, such as Heliax,
with the RX antenna at the top.  Obviously, more separation is better.

This is a frequent question, and the answer is the same
each time - there is no one manual for any GE radio.

You need to "build" a manual, starting with your combination
number.

First, go to www.repeater-builder.com then click on the GE link.
Then scroll down to the "GE Technical Information" heading, then
click on the LBI page.
Then scroll down to the Product Code Index files, and click on
"PC67 Mastr II stations".
You will, at that point, see that you have a continuous duty, low
power wideband channel guard repeater in a DeskMate cabinet.

But the reason you are looking at that document is on the second
page.  If you look carefully at the first table, you will see that the
second, third and fifth "digit" in the combo number is critical and
determines  what the starting manual page is.

Your combination number is DC55YAU77B, and the C, 5,
and Y leads you to LBI4787 as the starter page, which is
basically a cover page for a 3-ring binder.

Go back to the LBI page and look up LBI4787, then print it.
That page leads you to LBI30775.  Look it up and see that it
says "full page" under the number.
That means that it has wiiddeee pull-out pages, and you can
either print them yourself and tape them together, or take the
file to a Kinkos/FedEx shop or a graphics shop on a thumb drive
(sometimes called a pen drive or a flash drive) and have them
print the wide pages on their roll feed printer.  Some shops let
you email the files to them.

Going back to LBI4787 gives the receiver and transmitter number...
The second table is for the transmitter, and the "5" and "77" give
LBI30211 as the transmitter LBI, and third table uses the "U" and
"77" to give LBI30025 as the receiver LBI.
The last table uses the "5" to give LBI30867 as the power supply.

So go look up LBI30211 and you will find it is a cover sheet (again
noted as "full page") for LBI30212, LBI 30200, and LBI30213.

On the receiver look up LBI30025 and you will find it is a cover sheet
for LBI30113, LBI30032, LBI30029, and LBI4986.
You will also see a note that is has been replaced by LBI38505.
After you look at both you may decide to print one, or both.

So keep drilling down and printing LBIs as you go (or copying them
to the thumb drive) and you will end up with the complete custom
manual for your station.

And if you find any errors, let me know, I'll fix them.  I've put a lot of
work into that section of the web site (and I don't even own a GE radio!)
and I'm still finding errors.

If you stumble across any LBIs we don't have, let me know as well.
We can get them scanned into PDFs and then added to the page.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Manual Needed

2009-05-31 Thread Eric Lemmon
Lee,

All GE manuals are compiled from a very large assortment of individual
documents; there is no such thing as "a manual" for any mobile or station
radio.  In order to compile the documents you need for your particular
station, go to the following site:

and download each of the following documents:

LBI-4787  Combination manual
LBI-4986  IFAS Board
LBI-30025  RX Cover Sheet
LBI-30029  Oscillator-Multiplier Board
LBI-30032  RF Assembly and Filter
LBI-30113  RX Description and Maintenance
LBI-30200  TX Exciter
LBI-30211  TX Cover Sheet
LBI-30212  TX Description and Maintenance
LBI-30213  TX Power Amplifier
LBI-30414  Station Installation
LBI-30701  Control Description and Maintenance
LBI-30704  10 VDC Regulator
LBI-30705  Audio Boards
LBI-30714  Repeater Control Boards
LBI-30719  Control Shelf Cover Sheet
LBI-30727  Tone Filter
LBI-30775  Station Combinations D&M
LBI-30867  Station Power Supplies
LBI-31056  Channel Guard

As you can see, a complete manual for your station comprises 20 separate
documents- which is why the new station was provided with a binder of
loose-leaf pages.  Your station is designed to operate in the 406-420 MHz
band, as evidenced by the "77" in the combination number.  If it were
designed for a different band or power level, some of the documents in the
above list would be different.  Had you not included the combination number
in your message, you would almost certainly get a pig in a poke.

Well all of you TKR guys out there will love the pictures I attached here.
Just upgraded the repeater with a TPL 100wt RKR amp. Took a 4in 100wt out
and bypassed the first stage of the amp and run the repeater at 8wt and you
get 80 out of the amp. Here is the neat thing about this, I removed the
screw on rack mount tabs and it mounts inside the blank side of the repeater
like it was made to go there. Mounted 2 small fans to cool the heat sink
since the stock fan would not fit inside the cabinet.

 

The repeater is working great and thought all you out there may want to make
the same install if you have a space issue. Funny thing here is I called TPL
and they didn't even want to talk or converse about the idea.

Let me know what part of the manual you need, I may be able to help.

The only part I am familiar with on this is the Ultra High Stability  
Oscillator for the other bands, not 940MHz. But it looks like they use  
a doubler somewhere so the VCO is at 1/2 the final output frequency.


As far as I can see the amps for 940MHz are the same as the MSF5000.
If you study the schematics you can see the design progress from model  
to model. It has similar design parts of a Micor, Syntor, Syntor X.


Presently using one low band UHSO to drive a Master II low band

We at Repeater-Builder have brewed up a BPF module that is a direct 
replacement for the OEM GE version. I have parts to stuff them for 
either 136-150, 150-174 or 220-225 MHz. These boards are $20 each.

We have also in the process of laying out an OEM style audio processor 
for the PLL exciter. These will be completed as time permits. These will 
sell for around $30 each.

So, for $50 extra, you could turn a PLL exciter with missing boards into 
a working unit. These prices may come down depending on how many we can 
sell. (You know, the more you make the cheaper they become.) We *are* 
taking pre-orders at this time.

If you don't want to wait for the audio processors to be complete, we do 
have a solution using an adapter board and one of our AP-50 modules:

The AP-50 runs $50. The adapter board adds $10.
