Re: [Repeater-Builder] Pion and Simon
I just ordered a couple of their controllers last week after speaking with Al on the phone I had emailed him and requested he give me a callback (which he did that evening). The number he called me from was 503-345-4732, the number that was listed on the site was wrong as they were moving their website to another host...etc. Seemed like a likable enough fella...

[Repeater-Builder] Mastr II combination decoding
Just for fun, I just did some rough coding for a page to automagically decode Mastr II combination numbers; http://n0trq.com/mastr_ii/index.php It's not pretty, but functional. Still needs to do a little sanity checking for different splits to warn about invalid combination numbers between LB, VHF UHF models... I'll be improving the aesthetics and expanding the machine types as well. Hammer on it as you see fit, comments, suggestions, complaints for improvements are always welcome.

[Repeater-Builder] Convert 406-420mhz Mastr II to ham band
Okay guys, I might be biting off more than I know here, but I've been tasked out to try to get this accomplished for a new fledgling group of hams here. How much effort is really involved in converting a 406-420Mhz Mastr II machine (combination ending in 77) up to the ham band? Need to start learning more somewhere and this seems like a good avenue to take. I'm sure someone must have written up a step by step guide for re-tuning, I just have not found it yet. A point in the right direction would be helpful. Thanks, Dave - N0TRQ

Re: [Repeater-Builder] RELM SMUxx Link Radio?
Thanks for the ideas... I'll have to check on the Relm I have and see if she has a 'busy' indicator, thinking it does, should have some 4N25's or similar laying on the bench somewhere from another project, fortunately the controllers aren't fussy and can use either + or - for COS. I was trying to avoid using the speaker audio but it looks like that might be the easiest choice right now unless I can find something better between now and next week.

Place the diode of an opto isolator in series with the LED and then use the transistor section of the opto isolator in your circuit as the COS signal. You can use the transistor to pull up a resistor to a positive voltage if you need a positive going COS ( with the other end grounded) or you can pull a resistor to ground for a negative going COS (with the other end connected to a plus voltage ). I have no idea if your radios have this front panel activity LED, but most do. The PTT and mic inputs are pretty straightforward, and the speaker audio can be used in a pinch, if the knob is removed from the audio gain control to discourage folks from 'tweaking'. 73 - Jim W5ZIT --- On *Tue, 7/1/08, dakaratcaptivereefing [EMAIL PROTECTED]* wrote: From: dakaratcaptivereefing [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] RELM SMUxx Link Radio?

The best board is the 19D903081G(n) (called the '081 board), which can be flashed to EDACS/conventional or conventional only, and can accept the AEGIS digital board. This can be programmed with EDACS-4 (windows-based), EDACS-1, (DOS), or MPA CONV with the conventional only flash. Another is the '628 board, which is EDACS/conventional only, and does not accept digital boards. This can only be programmed with EDACS-1 I believe. There is also an older board that is unflashable, and is conventional only, but I don't remember the number right off.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] GE MVS VHF Repeater?
This child of a brainstorm would be at my own QTH (way out in the sticks), and even then I've been considering it more as a educational/learning tool than anything else. What's the fun in doing anything if you don't learn something from it? One of those just to see if it can be done effectively and see if *I* can do it, before moving on to bigger projects. And if all the smoke was to fall out, I might be out a total of $50, but I'd know where NOT to stick the screwdriver next time. I have a pretty firm grasp of the how's and why's just not entirely sure where to start.
