The G.E. exciters I've measured show around 200 mW out. I once put a UHF 
exciter tuned to 450 MHz on an HP437 power meter & got 183 mW. This seems 
to be more than enough to drive their RFPAs.

The G.E. exciters I've measured show around 200 mW out.  I once put a UHF 
exciter tuned to 450 MHz on an HP437 power meter & got 183 mW.  This seems 
to be more than enough to drive their RFPAs.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] What have I got?

[kevin valentino]

Not really an expert on that unit! General rule of thumb: when you have an 
existing exciter, the power amp (final) input is usually around 1/4 W  (250mW) 
or higher. Most GE junk is 1/2 watt in. you cant go wrong with trying 250mw. If 
it's not enough just put the "bird" (wattmeter) on the final and jack it to 
spec. Also if you could tell me how many actual boards, and the # of final 
xstrs not part # , just how many are in there i can prob give you a better 
answer on what minimun i would push it with!
SORRY i can't help you much more than that!
Been in the "biz" a lot of years and when we aer'nt sure we just start smalll 
and go from there.  zero chance of burnin somethin up! Again this is what i 
would do based on not having available specs. Sorry i can't be more specific 
for you
Sincerely,
Kevin

Picked up a nice micor UHF repeater today. The pa is a tle4173. It appears to 
be driven by a 75w tle-1713. I cannot find anything on google about the tle4173.

What do I have?
