Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT - UV Resistant Paint
Doug There is a product you are looking for called AICKINZAP made by Aickinstrut products. Their phone number is USA 1-412-828-3196. They are located at River Road, Verona, PA. This is what the Federal Aviation Administration uses to paint fiberglass antennas to exclude the uv rays and give longer antenna life. The cost if very high-$20-$30 USD per 4 oz can. Hope this will be of some assistance to you. 73's de Tom Manning, AF4UG Davies, Doug A FOR:EX wrote: I would like to build a weather cover for a small VHF antenna I'm constructing.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Wacom Duplexer Question WP678-R2?
Pretty sure the R2 was when they took 2, 678's roughly 2 to 2.5 mc apart and ran them on a common antenna. On each duplexer, tune pass normal, and tune reject on one cavity for it's own TX or RX, and the second cavity to reject the second TX or RX. This way you can run 2 repeaters on one antenna with very little trouble.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hi All, Help with Building Cavity
There are plans in May 73 for a set of 2 meter duplexers that I currently use. They do not as I recall list a source for the silver plating material, but you can generally get one of your local photo processors to give you used fixer solution from color photo processing (contains lots of silver). With a plating kit(sources such as JC Whitney), 5 gallons of that solution will be more than adequate for plating the duplexers inside and out! Good luck if 2 meters is where you are headed.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wacom Duplexer Question WP678-R2?
I don't think the R2 means anything. I bought a WP-678 duplexer for a GMRS station many years ago, and it was packed with an 8-page brochure entitled, Field Tuning Instructions for WP-678-2 and WP-665-R2 4-cavity BpBr Circuit Duplexers. The instructions are no different from any routine tuning procedure for UHF pass/notch cavity duplexers. Moreover, the WP-678-R2 is a standard UHF four-cavity duplexer for a 5 MHz split.

I live in Wyoming so the FRS is not going to work as I cant cover the distance I need with it as the power requirement is not enough. Putting up a repeater for only two user is not uncommon up here. We have several that only run a few users at most population being what it is. Renting from another I have already checked into the coverage for the locations that I am wanting is not possible due to the nature of the locations are so far apart that only one repeater over half the area and the other repeater the other half. Would be nice to have one that would cover the whole area. It would be two users at first but would grow in time to include more.

It works on 6 meters because your antenna noise temperature is much higher than the noise temperature of the pad/preamp combination. If you need a preamp on a 6 meter receiver though, I would think the receiver must be a little deaf. That method can never yield good performance at UHF, where antenna noise temperatures are much closer to ambient (295 K). Bob NO6B Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Celwave PD200 Repair
Subject: Antenna Repair Fiberglass Collinear Antenna We were given a 5.8 db Gain Stationmaster for the 220 band, and it seems to be very sick. There is no DC continuity directly across the UHF connector, and the VSWR is horrible! We are in the process of taking this antenna apart, however there are some of you on this site have been there and done that. This subject has been covered a while back, but I can't seem to find any reference in the index. If I recall, there are three screws holding the base, but the antenna fiber glass sheath will not pull out, only if a torch heats the solder at the antenna tip. Also, the index does cover the Celwave Paint procedures for the fiberglass after assembly (this antenna needs this work). The index needs to be updated, and even then the price of the gallon minimum of the urethane paint and catalyst is exorbitant! I have been told by some of the locals that a supply house in my area for Corvette and boat fiberglass repair will fix me up with UV non metallic type urethane paint at a reasonable price. You can contact me direct ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or via the builder site. Thanks. Tony, K3WX Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Hi All, Help with Building Cavity
Ed, I have a set built out of the May 1973 QST... With few modifications they work as well or better than the Wacoms or Cellwaves I have used. Am currently sourcing some 4 type L copper now to build more. If you have mort time than money, you can come up with duplexers that may not always be the prettiest, but darn functional. QST also had an article I am looking back to see if I can find, that if I recall is called the Six-pack. Its made from double-sided PC boards and then plated with Silver as a part of the construction. I have not talked to anyone who has used them, or even built them, but certainly am looking at them for a repeater that we can back pack to its destination. Randy, W0AVV Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Speaking of Wacom WP-678
Dual ports are not required for BpBr cavity probes. The decreased notch depth is probably due to the lower Q of the smaller cavities... 4 or 5 inches. Telewave does the same single port function without the reactance rods. Their probe construction sets up the same end result with less physical hardware. Sinclair has a newer generation one hole cavity port with two and three coax fittings on it. Another means to and end... cheers skipp ps: fairly old..., made in the 80's..?

He showed that design to me a long time ago, it is BpBr, between the notch and the pass you should have a really good duplexer.

It claims to be a BP/BR one (the model tag says so), yet it only has one port per cavity. It also has an adjustable (what I think is) plexiglas rod held in place by hose clamps, in addition to the center tuning adjust. And the harness is more like a notch only type as well, as each cavity is T'd, not in series with the next one in that leg. I've *never* been able to get a good, deep notch in this guy but it works ok... The thing is...I've never been able to find any paperwork on this guy. Anyway, pics can be seen: http://www.ah6le.net/arcom/wacom.gif http://www.ah6le.net/arcom/wacom2.gif (the 2nd pic is pretty fuzzy but the label says it's a model WP-678, the S/N and the factory tuned freqs) Ken Yahoo!
