[Repeater-Builder] R100 Help
Can anyone answer me a few questions. I had posted on radio programming group and no straight forward answers came back. I just aquired a R100 repeater. I am familiar with moto software but have not found all the info that I was hoping to find. First question, programming, from what I can tell, since there is no version for the programming, does the "RADMBL" rss work on this unit? Second question, the programming cable kits listed on moto rss lists, say that the cable for RLN4008, radio cable kit is the same part numbers for all they usual maxtrac, m100, GM series radios. So my question is this, will one of those cheap knock off ribless cables for GM/Maxtrac work on this. I have a, RLN4008 but no cable yet for this R100 because batlabs lists a schematic for programming and not the usual, off the 25 pin from RIB. I have seen a ribless cable listed on ebay for the R100 but am reluctant to order it unless I need to or if someone has gotten one and it really works on it. If you can, reply to me off line if you have worked with these please at n1roa at yahoodot com.
[Repeater-Builder] Need help IDing Celwave filter
I have a Celwave filter PN 9182510Y17 MFG date of 2/4/00 It is about 10"x10" square and 1" high, and has SMA connectors, one on each side (left/right), and 9 flat-head tuning screws in the front (just like the ones on the small 50w duplexers). It was brand new in the wrapper when I found it. I swept it on my tracking generator, and it looked to be some sort of window filter, centered at 390MHz or so. I attempted to retune it to the 444MHz range, as I need a filter in front of a preamp at a repeater site to clean up some interference from a T-Band system. I was able to retune it to provide a nice curve at 444MHz with about 2db insertion loss, and about 50db down at 460MHz. It also looks like it has one or two notches to the high side, so I could notch out a particular 470 frequency if needed. The strange thing (why I'm posting) is the tuning behavior. Of the nine tuning screws, counting them 1-9 from left to right, screws 1, 5, and 9 all seem to adjust the passband center freq, screws 3 and 7 seem to adjust what appears to be two notches (or one if I "pull" them together), and screws 2,4,6, and 8 seem to do nothing at all. Anyone have any ideas as to exactly what kind of filter this thing is, and how to properly tune it? As it stands right now, based on how it plots on my 8920's tracking generator, it looks like it should make a halfway decent filter for in front of a preamp, but I'd like to tune it properly if I can figure out how and what kind of filter it was designed to be. Thanks Eric KE2D

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How much drive power for Micor HD PA ??
Not sure what you mean by 12? watt PA. But in any case the Micor VHF hi exciters are supposed to be 400 milliwatts out. So, if you want to drive any of the Micor PA'S with 350 mw, it should be fine. In my experience, nearly always you can get the rated output with 250 mw drive. Keep in mind that usually Motorola installed a small bandpass filter between the exciter and PA to keep harmonics, etc down. And that little harmonic filter had some loss. So, 250 to 350 mw should be plenty.

RE: [Repeater-Builder]part 97.201 was Control Link
Wayne, What do you mean 'routing it through one of the groups'? I'm not positive, but when the holder of our club call moved, I think he just had to go into ULS and request the changes to the mailing address. I'll ask him when I talk to him again, but I remember him saying he had a problem only because he'd never registered in ULS.

Re: ham websites (was: Re: [Repeater-Builder]part 97.201 was Control Link)
That explains it pretty well. Any time there is something like that, I would normally put a link to it on one of my web sites. I am aware that part 97 does change, as well as other parts of the rules. Of course, some people are so far behind that the code being dropped has not come to their attention yet, ha ha ha. I will admit that some of my web sites need updating, and have started on parts of them. I was keeping a database of 2 meter repeaters in Northern California, but got behind on that after I moved the first time. Plan to try and set one up for Texas now, but using the information from the coordinators web site (need to resolve reading parts of their current database, as it gets partly obscured by another frame (I hate using frames myself, seldom do) so don't see the tones and a bit of other information)... I see some web pages with such terrible text and background colors that one cannot read the text unless highlighted. I make most of mine so that virtually any browser can view it, and only use limited Javascripting. I have even set up some pages with an autorefresh, as some browsers tend to use cached pages unless you do a manual refresh. Gotta go catch up on more emails. Bad enough I get behind, but the power went out last night.
