Go to your local CB shop and ask them for a broken whip (the ones

For those who missed them the first time around, I just
acquired a bunch more of these chassis. They are UHF GE
Deltas in the two low split ranges.

From the Hall-Electronics site:

Wide Band 16 Channel Capacity with Channel Guard, NO UHS

403- 423  50W   5 PPM   N3A133  N3RR2W050TB
and
410- 430  50W   5 PPM   N3A139  N3SS2W050TB

They didn't come with the X2212 but I have a bunch of spare
eeproms, so I can sell them with or without.

US$20 without X2212 or $US32 with X2212 plus shipping (parcel post
from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada).

These are the main chassis only and are very easy to set
up for links, packet, or use two as a repeater. A great site

[Repeater-Builder] Icom repeater parts?

Hi Guys:

A couple weeks ago, I asked whether anyone had a spare
internal harness for an IC-RP4020 UHF repeater. I found a 
VHF unit and used it as parts.

After all the work of changing the wires around, I
find that the repeater has an output of only 3 watts.
I snapped the brick apart and found that the final
transistor was shot (great input, no output).

So now, I'm in dire needs of:

a) a good working SC- brick (same as a M67703M)

or

b) an entire PA assembly

I have a complete IC-RP1520 repeater to use as a bartering
tool, minus the harness and the RX section :)

Failing that, I guess the club will have to fork over
the $US125 from RF Parts.

Great!

For manual and programming, I know what you think about that...

Ya...sorry about that. You still may want to look around
for a Phoenix-SX manual, as that will give you all of
the information about signalling and the RF sections.

If anybody have hints about programming TMX-1000, let me know.

I normally don't do this (as it's very time consuming), but if 
you want a couple frequencies programmed, tell me the TX and RX
frequencies, what CG tones you want, and whether you want STE
(Squelch Tail Elimination) or CCT (Carrier Control Timer, or TOT).

I'll program up a 2816 and read it with my Pocket Programmer II
and send you the BIN file. All you will have to do is find any
type of EPROM programmer and burn your own.

PLEASE don't send me a list of 99 channels (the TMX1000 will
hold 99 conventional channel). Limit it to 4 or 5.

But alas, I do have a suitcase programmer :)

I use these radios for UHF link and I like to remote control my Echolink

If it was a CG problem, you wouldn't think it would
pass ANY audio. Why don't you just set up both radios
to USE CG, instead of trying to defeat it?

For the service manual,I realy interested to get one or duplicate will be
ok.  Are wou willing to send me you manual, I can duplicate for ?20.00$

The TMX-1000 (MRK-V) is basically the same as a UHF

Any body can tell me if can I put the RX CG at off.

Push the monitor button, or program the radio without CG.

Other troubles, when decode DTMF, the receiver mute all the time, like a bad
CG decode.

We use them around here for RF links between repeaters
so I know they pass DTMF just fine. Does it only mute
during DTMF? Does it pass audio OK?

I was made a lot of tests, fine tune the IF, discriminator.  with no good
result.

Out of the 15 or 20 of these radios that I have used, I've
never had to touch the IF section of the radioyou shouldn't
have to.

Anybody know where can I find informations or downlodable PDF on the Web?

I have the complete service manual for the TMX-1000, but just

Copying or scanning would be a major PITA :)

[Repeater-Builder] Cheap Tunnel Heatsink

2006-02-11 Thread Tedd Doda
Hi Guys:

I just came across a neat little heatsink that is fan
forced from one end. It was originally used in an RCA
model RT2380BK surround sound amplifier, which had an
output of about 200 watts.

It turns out that this amplifier has a very common problem
with the LSI (large scale integration) chip, and is not
worth fixing, even from RCA. They abound on Ebay and have
some serious power supply parts inside (caps, regulators, etc).

I have no idea what to use the heatsink for (yet) but
I thought it was so cute that I would pass it on. The
heatsink measures about 7 long (including 12 V fan) and
about 2 square.

The 1600 will measure the difference between the signal and the oscillator

Same boat with the 1500. You would think after spending
$20K on a service monitor, it would DIRECTLY read frequency :)

The best way I found is to fire up the spectrum Analyser
and sneak up on it while reducing the bandwidth of the
SA until the frequency error meter deflects one way or the
other.

Or if I'm in a hurry, I use my HP frequency counter and
a sniffer (indirectly) stuck into the PA chain.

Any market for a well used 1500..I think it's about

We have 4 repeater sites, and they are all in temperature

Has anyone come up with a plan to replace the SO-239 hooded

for both RX and TX.

This is due to the fact that I use 1/2 SuperFlex as

would like to get rid of the adaptors :)

I came across about 50 brand new 3 foot SuperFlex jumpers

I use one here David, the Yaesu FTH-2070. Built like a

There *were* two versions available. The early ones went
from 150-174 and 450-470, and the units like mine went from
136-174 and 420-470.

They had 32 channels which were not limited to so many
VHF and UHF, so you could have 20 UHF and 10 VHF if you
like.

I think Ebay will be the only place you will find one.

Yep my Best Power UPS is the largest that they build that runs off 
13.8 volts it's a 1.4 KVA.

Hang on.say you have a 1000 watt load on the UPS, that
means you have about 72.5A running from the battery(s) to
the UPS. Hope you have real big wires.

I have a question, How long does the 4 33AH batteries last at what 
ever load that you have connected, and is it a fairly light load? It 
seems that they wouldn't last long with much of a load.

48 volts times 33Ah gives about 1584 Watt/Hrs of energy.
Theoretically, you could run a 1.5KW load for an hour, 750
watt load for 2 hours, etc., but due to efficiency, it will
be slightly lower.

Just to give you an example of run time, I had my hydro
panel upgraded from the old fuses to a breaker panel. The
electrician started at about 6PM, and it got dark about
8PM (late Fall). At 8PM he was half done and was trying to
work with a flashlight. I suggested we take the feed going
to the bank of 12 florescent lights and plug it into the
UPS. He agreed and after 1-1/2 hours later, he finished 
the job and the lights were still going strong. The lights
take about 380 watts (12 x 32 watt bulbs).

One thing you have be careful when running florescent bulbs
is that they usually don't like running from a modified
square wave (the output of many of the low cost UPS's).
The Alpha unit has a monstrous output transformer that
creates a true sine wave output (in part, that's why this
thing is so heavy).

That's definitely NOT good news. Mine is getting
weak (have to turn out most of the lights in
the shop to use it).

I did fix the power supply in one of them, not an easy job for an 
amateur.

Mine also went up in smoke some 6 years ago. It's
been running on an AT computer power supply since!
All the voltages are available and at $25, much cheaper
than the $600 they wanted for the original.

[Repeater-Builder] RC-96 EEPROM

2004-08-17 Thread Tedd Doda

Hi Guys:

Does anyone know if there is any base data
within U30, the 6264 (2864?) EEPROM? I have one here
that I'm trying to repair for a local club, and
the data within the '64 is all 00's.

The controller has no operation other than the power
light coming on. All the data lines out of the
uP look good, and are not being loaded down. The
data lines do PULSE though. Good data for about
2 seconds, then nothing (logic zero) for about
a second.

If there is any base data for the EEPROM, would anyone
have it in a bin file for version 5.2?

Thanks,

There are at least two ACC Repeater Controller groups on 
Yahoo. One is the more busier of the two, run by Chris. 

I belong to the one run by Chris, but all the messages
are moderated by him, so until he releases them, they don't
hit the reflector :(

Yes, the EEprom contains operational parameters and must 
be loaded.  I possibly have the 5.2 data for the acc 96, 
but I do have data for earlier versions. I have a few 96 
sitting on the shelf still that I need to test out. 

That's what I thought. I've reburned the 27011 which
was also scrambled, so hopefully the '64 will fix
everything.

Link Comm used to provide the 5.2 data in archives via 
their web site. You might check that information out. 

That was just for the 27011 and I think, the PAL, 
not the EEPROM :(

If you find the image, I can and would encode the eeprom 
(and eprom) free, just requires the file in bin or hex 
format along with return postage. 

No problem doing that here Skipp. Just invested in a
Pocket Programmer II..light years ahead of my
old Sunshine programmer!

Get a fresh eeprom from Jameco.com, don't mess around with 
an aged eeprom if you've had problems with it in the past. 

I have a bunch of the 2864, as well as the 27011 in new
condition (and noI won't sell any!).

If you could read one of your '64's Skipp and send me
the BIN file, I would appreciate it, even if it has
been programmed (callsign, macros, etc).

Rarely. I use to sell and install very high powered

There is only so much you can do with a stock alternator
casing and stator, but some of the aftermarket units 
are incredible.

[Repeater-Builder] Monster Heatsinks

2004-07-14 Thread Tedd Doda
Hi Guys:

Anyone interested in a couple HUGE Aluminum heatsinks
from a smoked 250 watt repeater amp? Each heatsink is
20 long, 8 wide by 3.5 high and weigh about 8Kg
(~17 pounds). If you need pictures, let me know. My
USB ports died, so I can't transfer the pictures from
my camera to the computercouple days before the 
pictures are available.

I also have a couple 88 split (450 to 470) Mastr Exec II
mobiles that I'm parting out. Let me know what you need.

I'll only ask once, then they go to Ebay.

PLEASE reply off list.

Funny, I do the same thing with cars.

My first was a '78 Mustang which I still have. Called
6 dealers, 3 local and 3 in Toronto. One of the dealers
in Toronto got the deal by a margin of 3 or 4 hundred
dollars. Doesn't sound like much but the NEW Mustang
only cost me $4200 back in '78 :)

It works for a lot of things.

We use to use them when installing alarm system in cars

were angle brackets (heavy) and were about 2.5 from
the bend to the ends.

Used them many times for custom radio installations.
Check out your closest alarm installer, they probably
have many not being used..for free.

Only drawback was that they are silver in colour, but
a can of black spray paint takes care of that.

How many do you need?

Install a real big dummy load on the output, key

it's still running when you come back, I guess
they were right :)

Just curious WHY you want to prove it?

I'm assuming you are talking about a Ham radio

*might* get 10% use during an average day, and that
estimation is probably high (2.4 hours a day?).
