[Repeater-Builder] Micor for 900 mhz
Anyone know how much trouble it is to put an 800 mhz Micor base up into the 902 ham band? Is it worth the effort? 73, Al, K9SI Yahoo!

Unsupported mail destination --- Begin Message --- I am a new member with a question. We have the opportunity to replace our present pieced together 2 meter repeater with a Micon, which is offered at a better than believable price. We will need crystals, however. Can anyone give me the approximate cost of a set of crystal units for this endeavor? I can't give you the model number as I haven't viewed the repeater yet. It is in working condition, however. Too, any good leads on a set of replacement duplexers for 2 meters? Must be operational and cheap!! Will appreciate any and all assistance. Gene Ferguson, W4FWG Fairfield, KY --- End Message ---

[Repeater-Builder] Re: maggiore's service
Hi Joe, Any good repair shop will probably work on anything they have parts and service information (manual) for. As you probably know, I'm a Kenwood Dealer and Authorized Repair Center, but we'll pretty much work on anything or honestly tell you if it's not practical or a lost cause. A lost cause would be the repair of a VHF Engineering Receiver Strip at the shop service rate. Unless a Dealer is moving a lot of radios via the sales side of the business, Service is still a big part of the bread and butter at many smaller operations. As a service to my walk in customers, I will even handle getting other brand service work done, where possible at another brand dealer. A lot of customers are happy to pay for someone else to do their "leg work". It all comes down to the shop rate or the repair quote. cheers, skipp www.radiowrench.com > Joe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a UHF Maggiore that has played well for years > on a very high site, but I think that I have been > lucky in regards to it's performance.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Tait t800
The last used one I sold with the 100 watt amp and switch mode power supply all in the rack frame went for $800.00. This is the Sierra Series...the synthesized ones that came out in about 1991. The early ones you had to blow a 27c256, the newer ones have eeproms and they can program from the RJ jack on the rear of the frame. Gregg R.

We had a major transformer failure this last week and had to put the spare power supply in. As a result, we're looking for a good Motorola TPN1041B power supply or a good 25D8274H01 transformer. These are used in the 200, 250, and 300 watt Metropolitan tube PAs. If anyone has one for sale that is within reasonable driving distance of Detroit, please drop me an e-mail.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
I have a UHF Maggiore that has played well for years on a very high site, but I think that I have been lucky in regards to it's performance. I don't see much interstage shielding and wonder what would happen if I was at an "RF crowded" site. There's not much happening, RF wise, at the site that I am presently on so it has performed well for me. My main concern mentioned in my last email was maintenance issues. I do my own repairs, so that is not an issue for me. If I had a failure and did not do repairs, I would be limited to only one repair location (Maggiore factory). Most 2-way shops would probably not want to work on the Maggiore, or would want to charge time & parts. This can get very expensive and time consuming, causing the repair price to go up and downtime to be very long. Sticking to Kenwood, Yaesu, Motorola, or another common 2-way product would give you more choices for repair and faster turn-around time. 73, Joe, K1ike --- skipp025 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > The last unit I had Maggiore make, was a custome > build.

[Repeater-Builder] Mitrex repeater
I am looking for receiver and transmitter diagrams of the Mitrex repeater.

Hello ... w7dux wrote: > > Neil, > > Just wanted to get out to all on this radio. I have no problems at > all powering it down to around 60 watts if that is possible. Micor transmitter PA decks are known for going squirrely when the power is turned down. Sometimes the fix is to change out the 110 watt board for a lower power model. I can show you an operating 2 meter repeater that has been operating for several years using a 60 watt output PA deck. > Also would like to know if that will increase the duty cycle from > its 20%. Usually depends on which PA deck heatsink you have. Of course it will help to put some forced air on it too but that is not the 'fix.' > I have not called or stopped by because I have been out of town and > just got back a few days ago.
