[Repeater-Builder] Motorola radios and Zetron 37 controller
We have 2 repeaters that are more or less the same. One is on 2 meters and the other is on 440. They both exhibit the same problem, they lockup after a while and then need to be power cycled. They ran for years without issue. We have the Instruction manual for the Zentron controller, but nothing on the radios. The 440 radios are Motorola M44GM29C3AA's back to back. That's the only model number on the radios. Does anyone have any information on them? A Google search shows 2 Chinese sites having them for sale on e-bay, that's it. Seems strange. Any information would be greatly appriciated, Joe Loucka -- AG4QC

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Radio or Duplex watts
No, and no.

Good day to all, This is posted on 3 groups, this indicates my crest for answers (I apologized if this offends anyoen on any of the groups) I just can find a group that deals with this beast(R2001D) A bit off topic, but I'm sure someone here (as some here have the Motorola R2001D service monitor) can answer my questions I've asked on other groups, without answer. I received a R2001D that doesn't work, only the oven ready let lit up, and I have the a ten (10 MHz) signal out on the BNC terminal on the back. On opening it up I realize theer's an empty slot (A13) now my questions. 1..Does this model requires the A13 card? From what I understod the A13 card is the 10 MHz oscillator card in earlier models, please answer. 2..Since I have the 10 MHz signal does this tells that the A13 card for this model is an option, or the A13 card slot here is a different card function? Please answer 3..Is there a R2001D group for this unit? Please answer. 4..Is the a free service manual available for download (I don't want to buy a manual if I need to have the A13 card installed) as I don't have it, and don't know where to find one now, even to borrow. I don't know anything about this unit, someone was able to send me the operating manual, he doesn't have a R2001D nor does he have the service manual.

[Repeater-Builder] DTV channels
Perhaps it might be less confusing to some if we started referring to the actual Carrier Frequency of any particular station... For Example: My local Educational station that I used to work for is a UHF satellite station for NHPTV who's primary ANALOG station is/was on analog CH11. The actual Carrier Freq of around 200Mhz +/- visual. (199.25Mhz or so) My local UHF station was on ANALOG CH52 at 699.26Mhz visual which simulcasted DIGITAL CH49 on carrier frequency of 681.25Mhz, however it identifies on the 681 freq as CH 11-1 and CH 11-2. So, yes, an antenna is an antenna, but if your local DTV station has a carrier frequency of 700Mhz and its analog counterpart was broadcasting at 55Mhz, you're probably going to want a higher gain antenna, which the UHF antennas typically are. And they are also much more directive.

Hi John, I want to suggest that you check the preamp, make sure it didn't get hit by lightning, or overloaded, also (if possible check you cables, I have had some change things happened that appears that the receiver is to blame but not in all cases) Then check the receiver to make sure it still has its sensitivity 0.25 - 0.35uv, or better should be good.

On the transmit side, using a transmitter and Bird power meter, there is a 2 dB loss in the duplexer. Power in: 94 w; power out: 60 w. Reflected: 2 w. I don't have a good way to measure the isolation, but using a distant transmitter, that transmitter had to use about 2 w when the repeater transmitter was on and only 1 w when the repeater transmitter was off. It appeared to me that we were getting a little de-sensing. The motivation for this re-tuning of the duplexer is that the repeater doesn't hear as well as it used to, according to users. I am not concerned about losing a couple dB on the TX side. I am hoping, though, that a re-tuning will decrease the de-sensing and, perhaps, add a slight increase in sensitivity. The system does have a pre-amp that appears to give about 4 dB of gain. I look forward to your suggestions.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Duplexer input and output power
Ok Skipp, and Jesse, So, I supposed that the specification of such, should be presented by the manufacturers of the said, and with the said, right! Or there is a general concept for duplexers, as in both examples, .1 to 3dB Jesse, and Skipp input loss 15 to 35% And which will be more accurate to work from dB or %. I always try to get a good balance when I'm tuning duplexers, most times I ended up taking a loss on the power for a better result on the receiver side, is this the best way to go? Or it depends on your situation, whether or not the extra power would effect your weakest signal! (most times a final touch up is done at the repeater site, it always make me feel like a perfectionist) Sometimes I still depend on my ears, then take a look at the test gears, 99% of the time I go with my ears because the difference don't be much when the duplexers are setup to the test gear figures.

Typically you get more insertion loss with more rejection, so its a balancing act. Insertion loss can range from .1 dB (very good) to 3 dB. Typically if I can get a duplexer to less than a dB I'm happy. Insertion loss (dB) = 10 log ( PIN / POUT ) So Pout = Pin x 10^(Insertion Loss/10) So for 50 Watts: .1 dB = 48.9 Watts .3 = 46.7 .5 = 44.6 .8 = 41.6 1 = 39.7 1.2 = 37.9 1.5 = 35.4 2 = 31.5 2.5 = 28.1 3 = 25 Jesse On 8/29/07, skipp025 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Joel, In the real world it depends on the duplexer type, size, quality, operation and setup values, which may be fixed or adjustable. Just throwing out a generic rule of thumb... you will find many duplexers lose about 15% to 35% of the input power. One would hope for near zero loss but that will never happen. A common quality duplexer has adjustable probes or coax ports (the name used is based on the duplexer type), which often trade what we generic call insertion loss for increased performance. Loss through a duplexer is not always a linear graph of power in vs power out. Just to put something out... be happy if a properly setup and working duplexer delivers 75% to maybe 95% of the input power. Be grateful if you receive better than 85% of the rated power.

Hello To All: Does any one have suggestions for a repeater preamp. 160 Mhz Rcv range and 153 Mhz Xmit range. I 'd like to find a unit with about 6-9dB gain, possibly with a preselector.

[Repeater-Builder] Has any one used a DB-228
Hi Russ: I have been using a DB-228 for over three years on 147.72/147.81. I agree with everyones comments, i.e. it is a very formidable antenna. It is worth the extra money and you will be satisfied. The DB-228 is actually two DB 224 with an additional phasing harness. Therefore the total length is over 40 feet long. It requires a bit more expertise to haul up the tower and a four man crew would be advisable. I did feel that the mounting braket and hardware supplied by DB was under designed. I had the tower manufacturer (Allied Tower) fabricate four brackets for the DB 228. The antenna is mounted at 500 feet and has been through two hurricanes. Regards...Joel W4SLH Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] LMR CABLE Electricity Rates
Many thanks to Russ W3CH and John VE3AMZ for the info on LMR cable used as jumpers on a repeater. Good luck to Steaven W4YI with respect to electricity rates.

[Repeater-Builder] LMR -400/600 cable
I am thinking of using LMR-400/600 ultra-flex as interconnecting cables between the repeater, dublexer and transmission line. Some one mentioned that there have been some problems with 400/600 when used as interconnecting jumpers at 150 Mhz. Has any one experienced any problems with LMR 400/600 cables ? Is there a better cable for this purpose. Thanks for your help and commects now and in the past. Joel W4SLH Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] DB-224 Tower Side Mounting
Has any one solved the problem of omni directional pattern distortion when side mounting a DB-224 on a tower ? I've side mounted several DB-224's using the DB 5001 side mount kit. The results agreed with the radiation pattern supplied by Decibel Products, i.e. a distortion of the omni pattern and signal attenuation off the tower leg that the antenna is mounted on. Will different mounting distances off the tower leg improve the omni pattern ? Can a 224 be mounted on each side of the tower with a phasing harness or power divider ? BTW, the tower I'm using has a 42" face. Any ideas will be appreciated. TNX...Joel W4SLH Yahoo!
