The printed manual is now $115 (plus shipping) 
to credit card orders, and $85 (plus shipping) 
to established Motorola account holders as of 
the week before last.

Call Motorola @ 800-422-4210. 

Ask for 6881089E50

That's the printed version @ $100

It is also available on CD.

[nj902]

I find it interesting that there have been responses to this thread
from key people involved with several of the controller manufacturers.
This speaks very highly of these companies.

In my opinion, we are fortunate to have such a variety of products
targeted to a relatively small market.  I have personally been
involved with repeaters that use controllers from several of these
companies - all with excellent results.  

I think we should thank these folks for building these fine products!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: grid Dip meter - used for tuning front end?

[Benjamin Naber]

Alright, I have a MFJ-269 and just love the thing. 

  I suppose depending on the filter being
designed/tested would determine what the dip means?
ie, if you are building a Band-reject filter, the dip
means that is the there-about freq where most
attenuation is? and vise versa with a band-pass?

[Repeater-Builder] Re: voice identification

[Coy Hilton]

Are you looking for a station or repeater?
For a station you can build one from the voice recorders that radio 
shack sells. Or locate a ISD recorder chip and throw a 555 timer at 
it and there you have it...or you can do it all in software with a 
PC.
For a repeater, most are part of the controllerunless there is a 
Echolink/Echotime Link to it then it could be done in Echotime or 
Echolink.

What hasn't been said in this thread is that there is rarely, if ever, a 
need to download all of that information.  The RLC-3 has literally 
thousands of settings (making it extremely flexible, which is necessary for 
a controller that can run eight repeaters independently at the same 
time).  Those settings default to reasonable values, so you need only to 
program an ID to get on the air.  The recommended way of setting it up is 
to send only the CHANGES to the defaults, which takes only a few 
minutes.  As long as you keep a file on your computer with a record of 
those changes, there is no reason to download all of the settings from the 
controller.  The download feature of the QuickStart software was added to 
help those that had already programmed the controller via DTMF or inherited 
a controller but no record of the programming and wanted to recover a copy 
of the controller's settings.

[Repeater-Builder] Mil-Spec RG-214/U Cable

[Eric Lemmon]

The 6-page official Military Specification for RG-214/U (now
M17/190-1) cable can be downloaded at:



The most recent QPL (Qualified Products List) names only two approved
suppliers for this cable:

Rockbestos Suprenant Cable Company
Times Microwave Systems

While such trusted manufacturers of coaxial cable as Alpha and Belden
do, in fact, make some very good RG-214/U cable that they claim meets
MIL-C-17 specifications, Uncle Sam has bestowed approval only upon the
QPL firms.  The price of silver being what it is, I would expect
"RG-214/U" cable that sells for much less than the price for genuine
RG-214/U probably is tin-coated instead of silver-coated.  How many
buyers can tell the difference?  Caveat Emptor!

73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Maratrac

If you can hear white noise, I would suggest that you start in the RF

however no modulated audio will pass. I have some points to check but I

[Repeater-Builder] Web Beacons

[Budd Turner]

For your information ...

Yahoo is now using something called "Web Beacons" to track Yahoo 
Group users around the net and see what
you're doing and where you are going - similar to cookies.  Yahoo is 
recording every website and every group you visit.  Take a look at 
their updated privacy statement:

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see 
a link that says web beacons.
Click on the phrase web beacons.

http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy/us/beacons/details.html


That will bring you to a paragraph entitled, "Outside the Yahoo 
Network."  In this section you'll see a little, "click here to opt 
out" link that will let you "opt-out" of their new method of snooping.

Once you have clicked that link, you are exempted.

Notice the "Success" message on the top of the next page.
BE CAREFUL because on that page there is a "Cancel Opt-out" button 
that, if clicked, will *undo** the opt-out.

[Chuck Kelsey]

I believe that 1/4" heliax only comes in superflex. The previous suppliers 
just mentioned for RG-214/U I believe all carry it.

  Thanks for your comment ... got a low band unit on 43MHz? 
 sometime back.  Just haven't researched the re-tune problem.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Retune Phoenix

[Wade Lake]

 If I might make a suggestion, you may want to consider a Motorola
Mitrek.  A friend of mine built the NC7J DX Cluster Node several years ago.
http://nc7j.qrq.com/site_description.htm   When he did, he asked me what
radio would be good for this job.  I suggested a Mitrek.  We originally
looked for one that was the lower government split so it could be easily
tuned for 421 MHz.  Those proved hard to come by so I tried tuning a
standard 450 - 470 MHz split radio.  I was stunned by how well it worked,
without any noticeable degradation in TX or RX.  The conversion to 9600 baud
packet was a snap too.  This was around 7 years ago and the radio has
performed flawlessly.  Also, you can pick up a Mitrek for 10 or 20 bucks at
a swap meet.

How much do you need?  Does anyone know what it is worth on the market 
as I have 600-700 ft that may be surplus to my needs.  I will have to 
hunt it up and check the type number.

If there is one opening on the top plugged, you've likely got the vari-notch

Those should be good for 350 watts, 90-100 dB isolation per channel, 1.5-2.2 
dB loss per side. Nice cans. The small tuning rod is the fine tuning 
adjustment for the bandpass, I believe.

There is still plenty of tuning rod left, I would say it should go, but hard
to tell much more about it than that.  I looked on the website, but pics of
them to go by.  These can's are about 6.5" in Diameter and about a foot
high, with two tuning knobs on the top of them.

Not necessarily.  I have a dual VHF isolator that "didn't quite make it" 
down to 2 meters.  Not sure of the manufacturer, but it has the load 
integrated (body of isolator is heat sink).

I removed a cover plate (sits right on the side of the magnet) to look 
inside & noticed that the operating freq. of that section dropped 
considerably.  I concluded that simply drilling small holes in the cover 
plates & reinstalling them would drop it into the 2 meter band.

Well there is not really much more to go on, I can send a pic of the can's.
I'm looking at the manual now for my tracking generator to see if I can
figure out how to use it to test it.  As I mentioned before, duplexer's are
a new gadget for me.  Still Learning.

If that freq. was stamped by the factory, it should tune down to 440 MHz 
with no mods or cable changes.

[Repeater-Builder] Isolator/Circulator retune

[albemarle7]

Purchased a nice RFS Systems model PCC150-B off E-Bay set for 158.1 mhz. Sent 
it to factory for realignment to 2 meter band. Required test for magnet and 
reglue, replacement of a coil and re adjustment, modification of filter, reset 
isolator output trap. Cost was $125 plus shipping back in May 2001. One of my 
smarter moves. Did not attempt to touch it with my VOM, grid dip osc, vise 
grips and hammer. Definitely a factory required job.

[Repeater-Builder] Maratrac

[MZFB]

Hi all
  I wonder if someone has a print of the audio section of a VHF Maratrac receiver. I just need the part that would cover from the Discriminator to speaker output. I have a Maratrac receiver that will not pass audio other than white noise. It has not been modified and just stop working in the middle of a transmission. Transmit audio is fine and the Vol and Squelch controls will control the white noise however no modulated audio will pass. I have some points to check but I need the print out to locate the audio chain.
Thanks in advance
Mike

[Repeater-Builder] Re: grid Dip meter - used for tuning front end?

[skipp025]

Hi Ben, 

Only if you had a lot of spare time. The common 
Grid Dip Oscillator tends to be relatively broad 
banded compared to more modern tools like the 
MFJ-259 and a Service Monitor. Other issues like 
the frequency drift need to be kept under control. 

Loop coupling is fine, you just have to make 
sure you're past the min critical loop length 
to keep the coupling issues out of the main 
picture.  So a 3 inch hairpin style loop or 
two/three turns of wire around a 1/2, 3/4 or 
1 inch form will probably work.  Lead length 
is not an issue as long as you keep things 
smart. 

good luck

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Isolators / Harmonic filters

[Eric Lemmon]

Neil,

As you have probably found out, low-band VHF isolators are not cheap. 
Also, they have very little tunable range from the factory-set
frequency.

It's one of the annoying marketing practices that seems to come as a
surprise to many Hams who receive donated isolators.  Case in point:  A
local radio club received a mint-condition Sinclair I-2213T dual
isolator that was pulled from Government service in the 163 MHz band. 
The initial joy at receiving a dual isolator that is specified as having
a frequency range of 132-174 MHz was dampened when the club members
learned that a ferrite isolator is field-tunable over a very narrow
range- in this case, just +/- 2.5 MHz.  That's a LONG ways from the 2m
band!

The club sent the isolator back to Sinclair for remanufacturing to the
exact frequency needed for the 2m repeater, and it cost just $250 to
have this done.  It took almost three weeks, but when it came back, it
was a perfect unit- fully tested and guaranteed.

I have never tuned a low-band isolator, but I understand that the tuning
range is much narrower than high-band VHF and UHF units.  The best
course of action, I think, is to contact the manufacturer of the
isolator, advise the part number and current frequency, and ask about
getting it retuned to a Ham frequency.  If the charge is about a third
the cost of a new isolator, it's probably a fair charge.

Mike, I also looked at your post on this on another site.
The problem is NOT in the audio stage(s).

Did you check the second oscillator crystal, the 44.645mhz one? They 
do fail. You can hear it on a scanner tuned to 44.645 closly coupled 
to the receiver, with the large shiled removed. If the osc is running 
then the problem is in the HI IF or RF stages.
