[Repeater-Builder] Andrew Antennas - Beware
This week i E-Mailed Andrew.com to order a replacement dipole element on a DB-224-E antenna. The reply from - [EMAIL PROTECTED] informed me that they Do not replace PIECE Parts and I needed to order a new antenna. It appears they no longer support the DB Products line. Beware!! If you need Parts, Good Luck !! Mr. Haynes LL is 1-800-255-1479 I wonder if Telewave sells parts for their products? w5aku@ tularosa.net Yahoo!

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Mastr 2 PA Matching Unit
Jeff, Larry, John Thanks a lot. I knew something wasn't right about the way those PA's were tuning up. With 110watts combined output each amp was drawing 16-17amps according to the metering panel (didn't run it too long of course). I'll be going back to the site tomorrow night and will report back on performance. If everything goes right I guess it will be time to start stocking up on those tiny resistors in the splitter/ combiner panel for when one of the amps lets go. 73 Andy KC2GOW How low will we go?

Those tiny resistors are rated for 100 watts dissipation. If one PA fails, the resistor will dissipate one half of the remaining power, i.e. 50 watts.

[Repeater-Builder] April AGL Digital issue- several good articles
Begging the list owners pardon, I noticed several articles in Rich Biby's rag this month that address multiple discussions that occurred recently.. grounding, selecting poly-phasors, phased antenna systems and batteries.. etc.. So I figured it couldn't hurt to pass the link along to the rest of the group.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Andrew Antennas - Beware
Depends on the configuration. And you don't always need a lot of gain. You should choose the antenna for the application. I've got a four-bay, four element array that gives me 9 dBd gain in the direction of the elements (all pointed the same direction). I didn't want to needlessly send RF in an area with no users.

[Repeater-Builder] High Power Mastr 2 Station
One other query to put out. Does anyone have a couple of those resistors that are in the splitter/combiner panel of a high power Mastr 2 station? I found a spare panel for my repeater that I would like to get going for just in case. I have the panel and the cabling but one resistor is missing and the other is now cooked, well done. If not any suppliers of them or a good replacement? Thanks Andy KC2GOW Yahoo!

If not any suppliers of them or a good replacement? Thanks Andy KC2GOW To save me a trip to storage, refresh my memory. Are the Wilkinson resistors soldered to the back of that little square perforated box, or do they have a mounting flange and attach to the box and rack plate with screws? If the former, I'm not sure where to get them. But they could probably be replaced fairly easily with a flange mount type instead. For flange mount types, try EMC thick-film resistors (http://www.emct.com/microwavepassivecomponents-a40835.html). I've used them for building my own Wilkinsons for other projects. They also make terminators (one lead instead of two, with the flange being ground) which are nice for building quadrature hybrids using twisted wire coax. I've used others from KDI/Triangle too in the past (now Aeroflex, who also took over IFR). http://www.aeroflex-kdi.com/resistor-products/pdfiles/PMS.pdf If you Google some combination of the words stripline, RF, resistors, flange, etc. you can probably find others. If you totally strike out, I might be able to spare one of the flange mount ones from my stock. --- Jeff Jeff DePolo WN3A - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Broadcast and Communications Consultant Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] back-up battery charging
I am now in charge of some club repeater sites which use the standard Micor power supply. These have back-up batteries on them which are being boiled dry by the 14.9V the power supply delivers,these supplies are not the battery back-up versions. I am looking for a good solution to solve this problem,maybe someone else has been there,done that??? Are there adjustments to set the voltage on these beasts? I thought about a relay,some big diodes,but it looks ugly... 73,Lee Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] back-up battery charging
Do not use off the shelf battery chargers, commonly found at Wal-Mart. These are SMPS conviently located with a 600kHz operating frequency. Try an LM-317 set as a constant current regulator to trickle the battery with C/100, Say 1 Amp for a typical Deep Cycle marine battery. A common wall wart should be able to be modified for this purpose nicely. Then I would use a 120V coil relay with 20A contact to switch to the battery on AC loss, and a big 68,000uF Cap on the line going off to the repeater to sustain DC during relay switch time.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] High Power Mastr 2 Station
I have to look at them again, but I believe they attach with screws to the sqaure boxes...The little white square resistors...When I get to the site tomorrow I'll note the manufacture/mounting of them. I can't distinguishanything from this blob of plastic that is sitting on the test bench that used to be a resistor. Love cheap thrills?
