[Repeater-Builder] TM-241A audio to external tone decoder
I am wanting to temporarily use a Kenwood TM-241A radio at a repeater site... not for a repeater receiver but for something fairly mission critical. I fed the audio output available at the mic connector to a TS-32P and it seemed to decode fine at first. I have now found it decodes signals from some radios and not from others. Not sure if the audio level is borderline (too low) or if the audio from that point may be after a high pass filter in the radio or what??? Any hints? I am on my way back to the site to mess with it some more but will check back with email in a couple of hours. Paul, N1BUG Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] TM-241A audio to external tone decoder
We had similar difficulties with a 241 and an external tone board using the audio from the mic connector. We switched to using the ext. speaker jack for an audio connection and it worked much better.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Voter Radios
I have 2 Motorola Astro Spectras 4 sale on epay if someone wants to fix em up mark ab8ru Neil McKie wrote: Mike Morris WA6ILQ wrote: ... snip ... I know some guys that use GE Phoenix SX radios for linking. Why waste a broadband radio for one channel? I know a person who might be using a Kenwood TK805 for an Echolink station. Probably a waste but the radio is conveniently handy for this application. If the plan works well, we might rock up an old Mocom-70, Micor, Mastr II or Mitrek Super Consolette Station on UHF for this use. Just depends on what I trip over first in the garage. Would they be good for receiving on VHF and then linking back to the main site to the voter on UHF? I'd use a receiver like a Mastr-II, a Micor or a SpectraTac. As to the transmitter, your choices depend upon the power level you need (which can be greatly reduced if you put a beam at the outlying receive site). I've seen a lot of link transmitters that are not much more than the exciter feeding a cavity filter feeding the beam antenna - maybe 200mw into the antenna. It does not take much power to go from a high site to another high site when they are line-of-sight... For a while, we had a 1 1/2 watt 445 MHz link on a 115 mile path. Neil - WA6KLA Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Why Linear For PS?
Andy, I think it's more a matter of comfort and familiarity than of technology worship. Astron makes switching power supplies as well as linear, and they are extremely reliable. All of the repeaters I have installed in the past ten years have switching power supplies, and they are operating flawlessly. Motorola uses only switching supplies in MTR2000, Quantar, Quantro, and 1225-based stations- and for good reason. None of the switching power supplies I have in service produce any measurable harmonics or EMI, and the freedom from AC hum (ripple) is very important. I'm sure there are some cheapo switching power supplies on the market that are noisy and/or unreliable, but those made by Astron, Duracomm, and Samlex are excellent choices, IMHO. An excellent report on six brands of switching power supplies was published in the January 2000 issue of QST Magazine. Each unit was rigorously tested in the ARRL lab, and spectrum plots are included in the article. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY Andrew wrote: Hello Again, Is there any reason that Linear (such as Astron) Power Supplies over Switching Supplies for Repeaters? The linears run hotter and are very heavy to lug to the site where as switchers have similiar capacity and are 10X lighter. I have been running a Samlex Switching Supply for about seven months and no trouble. Why does everyone worship the linear supplies? Andy KC2GOW Yahoo!
