[Repeater-Builder] MSF5000 Power Supply Capacitors

[Jared]

Anybody got a source for the large capacitors (65000 and 12 uf) in MSF 
station power supplies?  I've got 7 stations reeking of leaking caps.  The only 
places online I've found them were Digikey and Mouser, which want over $50 each 
for them (a little steep for me).

[Repeater-Builder] Comair Rotron fan replacement

[Jared]

Hey folks,

My repeater whole-cabinet fan threw the bearings and now sounds like a diesel 
engine and turns maybe 500 rpm.  Anybody know where I can get a replacement?  
It's a Comair Rotron Major 6.75 230CFM fan on 115V 30w.  All the dealers 
listed on Comair's site are out of stock w/ no backorders allowed.  Anybody got 
one in their junk box?  I really want to avoid hacking up sheet metal and 
wiring.  I can send a pic if anybody wants to compare.

Thanks,

Jared

[Repeater-Builder] Re: PURC5000 Repeater Controller Interfacing?

[Jared]

I've been trying for the past 2 days to get my PURC5000 w/ Advanced 
Control to work with an RC-210 controller.  I figured out the PTT, but it won't 
transmit any audio.  All I'm getting 
is a dead carrier.  So far, here's what I've done:


RC-210PURC J2
-----
PTT--Ext Key Request (pin 9)
GND--Logic Gnd (pin 7) and Analog Gnd (pins 1  2)
TX Audio-Ext Aux Audio (pin 22)


I've also tied 9.6V (pin 15) to Ext Mode Request (pin 24).  My manual says to 
do this when you want to key analog audio.

I've also tried tying TX Audio from RC-210 to Line 1 WIB (pin 25) instead of 
Ext Aux Audio, but still no dice.

The weird part is that if I go into the service menu and tell it to key up and 
pass audio, it transmits properly.  However when I try to call for PTT via J2, 
no audio.  When I call for PTT via J2, I can look at the stats menu and see 
that it's calling for PTT for analog and not binary which appears correct.

Any ideas where I can put TX audio and get it to transmit right?  I've set up 
the menu items to call for local control.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jared

 I'm attempting to use a Zetron Model 48B to encode PL tones.
 
 Need to know where to inject transmit audio and PL encode tones as
 well as PTT.
