[Repeater-Builder] Information on Tait T-377/PA/03
Hi All, I am after some information on the Tait T-377/PA/03 module. This is fed by the Tait T-377/EX/02, via RF sense, and the main connections coming in the back are 2 sets of power connectors, as well as a single white wire. The problem is I can not find any reference on what the white wire does, there is no extra connection to the exciter. First thinking was the wire was a RF sense to the exciter if there was a problem. Does not appear to be this. The only thing I can think it is, is a power control switch Does anyone have any information on this module, and this wire?? I am currently waiting for the manual to arrive, but would like to get most it working. It is very much like the other Tait equipment I have, so I can get 90% of it working without the manual.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
Caveat Emptor. If you buy Maggiore, the purchaser is the perpetual owner as far as they are concerned. It is impossible to get any real service assistance from them unless your name is associated with the serial number. Our club has one that was purchased on behalf of the club, in an individual's name, and we cannot get any satisfaction period. I cannot even get them to reply to emails. As a matter of fact, the fellow's email address went bad.

Has anyone have an alternate solution to Yaesu's configuration program for those of us that have no serial ports, just usb to serial? Yaesu said that their program will work in dos only and have no intensions of changing. So much for recommending their repeaters any more. Have a nice new laptop that will not communicate. Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Icom rp4020
If you are looking for the discrimniator audio and you dont have the schematic here is something that you can try for a quick and dirty solution. Find your reciever module. Locate the feedthrough caps on the side of the Rx module. Take your scope or a high impedance voltmeter on the AC scale and set a 5 volt scale. Leave the Rx SQUELCHED and check for an AC voltage on each of the Rx feedthroughs. When you find a voltage around 1-3 volts or so, put a full quieting signal into the reciever and see if the voltage goes away, (as it should, you are measuring audio level). To confirm that you have the right spot, add a dtmf note or even a whistle to your injected signal and see if your voltage reading changes with the level of the audio you are injecting. If so, you have found you discriminator audio. Remember, the disc. audio is there even when the Rx is squelched. I hope this helps. I am sure that others have a better way. This is how I did it when I had no real test equipment or documentation. 73 de John Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
I did not have this bad experience several years ago. I sent an old UHF transmitter back to them because it was not functioning properly at 440.8Mhz. They modified the circuitry for a very reasonable charge. They also did an audio upgrade for free. I do rememeber something about the original owner passing away and changes made in ownership. Maybe they had a difficult time for awhile. 73, Joe, K1ike --- Steve Grantham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Caveat Emptor.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
It is not true! I have been buying repeaters from Maggiore for many years! I sat on his garden tractor years ago in his garage and watched him build my 220 repeater. They have had good and bad repeaters. But they have come a long way and build one of the finest repeaters on the market today. Say what you will. I have 18 of them on the air they all work just fine.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
Too much read between the lines... I did not say they were technically incompetent. I did not say that their stuff was crap. I said, "It is impossible to get any real service assistance from them unless your name is associated with the serial number." I also stated that they were not replying to my emails, and that they are not receiving them now because they started to bounce. I no longer have agood email address for them. Not being able to communicate with them, I cannot benefit from their $ervice. Maybe I should have simply said that I had a badcustomer serviceexperience, and that it is still unresolved.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] maggiore's service
Joe You are Correct.. I had asked Paul how and why he got into this Business.. and He told me that it was his fathers business... after His Father passed. he went through a difficult time in his life as with any guy loosing his father. He decided to carry on his Fathers reputation of providing a quality product.. So It may be possible that this guy had a hard time getting service during this time period. Personally speaking. as a user of some maggiore gear I never had a problem with their service. I had an Issue a few weeks back. I made a call and within a few hours. it was resolved. Excellent company and products. Neal Joe wrote: I did not have this bad experience several years ago. I sent an old UHF transmitter back to them because it was not functioning properly at 440.8Mhz.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] vertex repeaters
Reminds me of something I learned while working in the Fire Service: '100 years of tradition unhampered by progress' was what I was told when I questioned things such as why we used hose fittings that took 8 revolutions to fully connect when there were 1/4 turn couplings available. As one who works in the field daily with probably 50 or programmable systems including telephone systems, voice mail, telemetry, two way radio, Programmable Logic Controllers, etc. I truly wish the manufacturers (engineers) would get their act together. A few have done some nice work, Nortel for example gives me a voice mail with a serial port for terminal startup and an Ethernet jack for heavy duty programming. Cisco did this with their access points, Esteem did this with their telemetry radios, it isn't rocket science, it is good engineering. Marketing new equipment that requires outdated hardware and an outdated OS to program it is just wrong. I'm not even sure I can program all of Motorola's products with the two laptops I carry now (one old, one new) because I think you really need DOS, Win2000 and WinXP to do the entire line. The root of the problem is that the software engineers won't properly implement their code to use the com port via the operating system. They should. If you seriously think manufacturers should be marketing new equipment that requires DOS for programming, you must agree with Bill Gates when he said that no one needed more than 640k of RAM.
