[Repeater-Builder] Maybe a little OT
I'm putting Echolink on my rptr. I wanted to run the Echo Time program also, but found out from KH2D that it is no longer available, since he took a lightening strike last July on his system/server or something. From what I gather, he has no plans on reactivating it. Now i'm looking for another program that works like Echo Time and is compatible with Echolink. Does anyone know of a program that is available ?? Thanks Doug /N3DAB
Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola CDM-1250 PL tone control
Look at the help files accompanying the CPS program, especially the ACCESSORY Configuration tab, ACCESSORY Connector for pin definitions and the ACCESSORY Pins Tab. Also look at the manuals for the i20 repeater controller and the Z340 Comunity repeater controller. One of the options on several of the pins is TX PL DISABLE (INPUT).

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Recommended commercial radios that use SMT technology - to convert to 2m rpt
I wasn't clear about that...the motivation for rebuilding it is that most of the equipment at the voting sites is gone. Just one rcv cavity, and the antenna system at one site remain. I don't even know what was installed there. Also, only one of these sites is still available. I think we'll run 3 voting sites in the end, so we're looking for two more. That's what I've got to work with. At the main site, the current setup is a Mitrek receiver, a heavily modified Kenwood TK-930 transmitter that can put out around 13W continuous, driving an amp (can't remember what) with a single MRF-174. It puts out about 85W into the duplexer. The TK-930 is brain dead, so temporarily, I have put in a CDM-750 running 25W without the amp. There's a box with 3 MSTR-II UHF receivers that used to listen to voting sites connected to an LDG RVS-8. Each receiver is connected to it's own beam antenna. These look OK. That's what I've got to work with. --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Nate Duehr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: tedsims wrote: I'm hoping that I can identify equipment that seems more familiar to me on the inside (PLL synthesis, SCF audio processing, LDMOS, surface mount). I know the MASTR II, Mitrek, etc. are very fine radios, but the inside of one of these looks completely alien to me. Any suggestions? What's broken/breaking in the system today? (In other words, what's the motivation to re-build it?) What's the budget like? A modern voted system like that with all new(er) rigs could get real expensive, real fast. Here's how it probably goes... The older stuff (like the Micor and MASTR II) are at least considered modern up through the 1980's. (They were still available new from the manufacturer close to 20 years after they first hit the market, which says a whole lot for their design-quality and ability to work seemingly forever. A lot of clubs/groups are still running them without any more than a quick trip to check sensitivity and PA output power, etc... once a year. If even that. The used market is flooded with this year right now, but won't be forever. One of the positives of some of this older gear is that the complete board assemblies on SOME of these models, are directly from the mobile rigs. The mobiles are so old now, they're getting to where they're very inexpensive in BULK if you find an auction, or similar... and you are willing to swap boards and see what's working and what's not. You can build a mighty spares pile of known working receivers, exciters, etc... for the older repeaters from mobile boards. (I'm a MASTR II fan, the Motos I hear this is harder... Moto didn't make their stuff as interchangeable. I don't know. Your mileage may vary.) In the mid-80's gear like you're describing with more modern components arrived. But it was done on the cheap as far as actual RF-design goes, with many of the rigs made overseas and of questionable build quality. The front-ends are quite a bit broader, even though it added sensitivity... etc. For links and receivers at high sites, this is often backward of what you're trying to accomplish... and you end up putting a lot of out-board filtering on the pile of receivers at the voter site... to keep the out of band stuff nearby from bothering them. Systems like the MSR-2000, later the MSF-5000 from Motorola and the MASTR III from GE/MA-Com came out as replacements for the gear sold in the early 80's. The MASTR III is still current product at MA/Com, the MSF-5000 as far as I know is. They're still built like real repeaters... and anytime you have the space in the rack and the money to pay for them, they're well worth it. But they (especially NEW) are NOT cheap. For a ham radio voted-system, the sheer number of TX/RX pairs you need means you probably can't afford a rack full of nice solid commercial gear like that. Size, power consumption, amount of space needed in the racks... etc... would be too great. So the pile of mobiles on a shelf thing is often done instead. Options would be things like others have already mentioned... commercial mobiles from the mid-80's like the GM-300/Radius series from Moto, etc... that have the appropriate connectors on the back (16-pin) to give you the right connections needed to deal with voting systems... etc. For the TX part... running some of those rigs in their 10W varieties works, but it's still just a mobile rig. Try to keep them cool. (Which probably means adding fans to your PA heatsinks.) Basically, if you go this route, you're trading quality for quantity,it works... but make sure you're planning to have spares sitting around, pre-programmed, ready to go when you blow up a link radio in that environment. Since mobiles are generally cheap. Other interesting possibilities include using Kenwood TKR-series repeaters as the links... (expensive, but nice...), etc.
RE: [Repeater-Builder] Maybe a little OT
Hi Doug I run Echotime now and it is a good program. There were 2 versions, the first which was free and the second which had better voices and was a paid program. Now there is a new program you can get from the EchoAddOns site that is even better. It is EchoProducer. It has a ton of options to configure so you can use it in very basic mode like EchoTime or you can add all sorts of features depending on your system needs. You should get a copy of ATT Voices if you decide to use speech, which will sound better that the very basic voices that are in the program, or you can record your own. 73 Glenn N1GBY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of n3dab Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 2:09 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Maybe a little OT I'm putting Echolink on my rptr.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola CDM-1250 PL tone control
I got to looking in the schematics, and was going to try injecting the tone at U0221, pin 40, which is supposed to be the MOD IN, as it's labeled, but it's really the audio output (after all filtering, etc) that goes to the RF stage. Instead of doing that, I found in the software that if you program pin 8 to TX PL / DPL Inhibit (input) you can actually control the CDM's PL tone encocoder. I checked on another repeater we use, the Motorola R1225, and it has the same option, I think it was on pin 6, though.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola CDM-1250 PL tone control
James, You can program a pin on the accessory connector to do exactly what you want, and even make it active high or active low to be compatible with your controller. It is better to let the radio do the encoding and decoding of CTCSS tones, since you have the reverse-burst STE built-in- a feature that is normally not available in aftermarket controllers. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of James Adkins Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 12:10 PM To: repeater-builder Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Motorola CDM-1250 PL tone control We are using a pair of Motorola CDM-1250 UHF mobiles, 403-470 split, for our UHF repeater along with an Arcom RC-210 controller.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GR500 Cooling Fan Control
Ben, I believe that the best solution is to use a normally-open thermoswitch mounted to one of the heatsink fins. My choice is Digi-Key 317-1094-ND, about $7, which closes at 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). This setting ensures that the fan does not run needlessly, but will kick in long before the radio gets hot enough to affect its health. I drilled and tapped a couple of 4-40 holes, and mounted the switch with some heat-sink compound under it to get good heat transfer. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wqjf348 Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 11:39 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GR500 Cooling Fan Control I am setting up a GR500 with the R1225 radio. It is in the wall mount box. The cooling fan that came with the box runs non-stop. I would like to be able to control the fan either by slowing it down or making it switched by temperature or PTT of the repeater. Can anyone here offer some suggestions? It is currently wired straight from the power supply. Thanks in advance! Ben WQJF348 West Jordan, Utah

RE: [Repeater-Builder] GE M/N 4EF5A1 amplifier
Bill, I assume you are following the instructions for complete alignment as found in LBI-3615, here: www.repeater-builder.com/ge/lbi-library/lbi-3615d.pdf The instructions include advice to ensure that the exciter is completely aligned first, and a reminder to allow the PA to completely warm up before starting alignment. If you have a poorly aligned exciter, the PA will be difficult to tune because its source impedance is not close to 50 ohms. Been there, done that. One point to keep in mind is that Progress Line equipment was designed in the era of analog V-O-Ms, and a digital meter may give erroneous readings. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of w8wer Sent: Sunday, October 12, 2008 6:01 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] GE M/N 4EF5A1 amplifier We have used two of these amps for many years. I am trying to replace the tube (4CX250B) in one of them. This is my first time doing this. I have replaced the tube with one I think is good that was stored in the repeater. The GE instructions are typical, transmit at low power into the output of the amp, peak the grid current with Grid and Filter controls then null the grid current using the neutralizer control. The problem: after peaking the grid current with Grid and Filter, the neutralizer control will only further peak the grid current, the nulls occur at both ends of the control travel; there is a definite peak in the middle of the control range instead of a null. Any idea what would cause this condition? Bill

Gervais, I usually type just GE in when I'm searching. Some times gives you more than what your looking for. However parts aren't always listed as mastr 2. Doing it this way gives you everything.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: pls help , connecting a link radio to a tkr850 repeater.
Hi Savy, Specific to the TK-760g and TK-860g mobile only: Buy the Kenwood KCT-19 option cable and install it per the service manual (just plug it in properly). I stock them if you can't find one local to you. For the Kenwood TK-860g Radio KCT-19 Pin 4 Receiver Audio Input KCT-19 Pin 5 Transmit Audio Out KCT-19 Pin 6 Ground KCT-19 Pin 7 Switched +VDC KCT-19 Pin 8 Transmitter PTT Out KCT-19 Pin 11 COR KCT-19 Pin 15 ON Air Detect If you require the TK-860g CTCSS/DCS decode, remove the grey wire of the KCT-19 CN4 (connector inside the radio) and jumper the wire to the side of R103 that is connected to Pin 7 of IC9. See the TK-860g Service Manuals for details on the part location(s). In the Kenwood KPG-59D programming software, select the Edit, Optional Features menu an set Data TX with QT/DQT=Yes. I have the programming sheet for the TKR-750 and TKR-850 repeater port but I can't attach it to this post so please Email me direct and I'll send it to you... a freebie of course. cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com www.radiowrench.com Saviour Otsemobor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hello All, pls can anybody help me on how to connect a link radio, precisely the tk860g series radio to a tkr850 repeater.? thanks regards savy
