[Repeater-Builder] mixing problem?
I just re-built a ge mastr II mobile for use as a repeater on 147.030+ and everything went great here on the bench. when we installed the machine at its new home at a residence on a hilltop we emediatly started having problems with noise on the input freq. it only apears when the repeater is in TX and it appears right on the input 147.630. I have ruled out desense because you can hear the noise on a HT (on 147.630) but only when the repeater is transmitting. I think this might be a mix of some sort but i have no clue what to look for. can anyone help point me in the right direction? 73 Ray K6PNG Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] mixing problem?
Does the noise go away when transmitting into a dummy load? Second, can you unhook the receiver from the duplexer and use a clip lead for a receive antenna for a test and see if the signal is still present?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] mixing problem?
Well lets see, is the interfering noise present every time you key the transmitter, or sometime yes, and some times no? Reason for this question being most LMR stuff that may be mixing is on and off, broadcast is usually steady on. Also is there any intelligible information in the offending signal, like faint voice, etc? Also, how far are you from any other radio stations, LMR, Broadcast, etc? Sorry to sound like a trial lawyer grilling a witness, but just trying to put the pieces together. Hopefully you have a new antenna installation and new or known to be good cable, etc. Tell me a little about the site, cable lengths, type of cable, antenna, tower, etc. Steve -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ray Retzlaff Sent: Friday, June 10, 2005 1:46 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] mixing problem? - Original Message - From: Steve Bosshard (NU5D) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 11:38 PM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] mixing problem?

Looking for MRS-2000 module change blurb (orange sheet) info: Motorola put out a typical manual orange sheet (manual update) for the MSR-2000 that describes combinations of certain specific numbered cards or modules, which must be used in the listed combos without causing damage. I believe the related modules are probably the R1-Audio, the Station Control Module and possibly a few others. If you used the wrong combination/revision of certain cards/modules... damage will occur (ie smoke test). If any of you still have the mentioned orange sheet revision sheets for your MSR-2000 Control Station (orange cover manaul) please look to see if you spot the mentioned update notice and contact me if you do.

Since you're not putting up and Sinclair antennas, it doesn't matter. However, as I listed in a previous post: The SRL-222 and SRL-224 should be avoided. These are a folded dipole design, but they are problematic. I don't understand why they (Sinclair) continue these models when they have other similar models that work well.

[Repeater-Builder] COS Circuit, my mind is blank
I know I should have this figured out by now, but fact is, I'm still stuck. Ok, I hit a brick wall that someone put in front of me on my TM-V7's using them for the remote receivers at the repeater site, and that is only one side will produce the 5 volts on the packet connection. So I would be good for one half of the radio. So lets just say for sake there was no 5 volts there, and I have discriminator audio, how would a COS or Squelch circuit be brought into action that will give me my 5 volts. I take the discriminator audio to the RVS-8 controller, what hooks to the COS circuit. I'm basically drawing blanks on how this works. Mathew Yahoo!

GET YOUR MANUAL OUT AND TURN TO PAGE 80.(I'm not yelling..dang cap locks). OH if you don't have one go to Kenwoods site and down load it. PIN 6 SQC goes to +5 when squelch is open. Pin 2 is ground. Try making the side that you want to get squelch controll from the main or PTT side...or the select side. Boy, using a perfectly good (great) radio for that application is a disgrace, but it's yours. Oh if there's other radios (transmitters)near the same band near by, it likely will swamp the receiver.

The 3 or 4 I've know about that were in use in my area all failed within months. I don't have any direct, personal contact with the installations, just second party talk. I believe the problems were all related to feed harness to element connections, but it was 15-20 years ago now. Maybe they did something to improve the problem since then.

Perhaps arrange for a Native American rain dance -- there's something about installations made during rotten weather. Really! Failing that, pay close attention to your jumper connects. I like to dab a wee bit of clear silicone grease on the threads (not pins) as an anti-oxidant. Caution on tightening -- too much wrenching can deform the coupling make 'em prone to leakage. Avoid cheezy tape from the dollar store; pay a little extra for the good stuff. /. k9jac1 wrote: Is there anything we should do to the new antennas before they are installed on the tower ?
