[Repeater-Builder] Re: MLS MLS-2 on 6 Meters (was: MLS1 GE)

2006-02-26 Thread Mark Cobbeldick
Hi Steve,
Yes, both the MLS and MLS-2's will go upto 6 Meters.  Might need a 
wee bit of tuning touch-up for full spec, but they will go to six 
without too much fuss.


On the MLS using the TQ-2310 suitcase, use the INSERT command instead 
of ENTER to enter in a ham frequency.

On the MLS-2 using dos software, use CTRL-E instead of a TAB (or 
ENTER) to enter in a ham frequency.


In the case of 10 meters, the radios cover down to 29.0 MHz out-of-
the-box and no programming tricks needed.

 I was thinking the MLS2 used a pc and serial cable and the MLS1

 suitcase.  Will either go to 52.525?

   Steve,
  
   I have a GE MLS (aka MLS 1, once the MLS II came out) radio, 
and it has a
   PROM that must be programmed on a PROM burner.  It does not use 
an EEPROM,
   so each change requires a new PROM.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: MLS1 GE

2006-02-25 Thread Mark Cobbeldick
There were two different versions of the MLS radio line produced by 
GE in the 80's and 90's:


The original MLS radios have a model number ending in  Ø  and 
require the TQ-2310 'suitcase' programming box to program.  The cable 
from the suitcase programmer plugs into the mic jack on the rear of 
the radio.

The later generation MLS-2 radios have a model number ending in  1  
and are PC Programmable with a DOS based software application, a TQ-
3370 (or older TQ-3310) interface box and cable which plugs into the 
mic jack on the rear of the radio.



 We normally clone a programmed prom to eproms.

In 23 years, I have never heard of anyone ever pulling the eproms and 
copying them to program this radio.  Novel idea.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: interference story - w/food for thought

2006-01-12 Thread Mark Cobbeldick
Here is one that drove me nuts for almost a week when I was still at 
the city...


- Mountain-top radio site (1800' elev).  
- 260-foot freestanding tower
- 8-bay uhf antenna on top platform
- Connected to a MSF2000 transmitter on the city's 453.xxx paging 
freq and a Zetron digital paging 


Someone on the mountaintop installed a high-power paging transmitter 
on 152..  Whenever the 152 transmitter and NOAA wx on 162.475 
were both on the air, a monster spike would occur on output of the 
local ambulance service's 460 freq.  (Their repeater was 1/2 mile 
down the ridge.)

We got blamed as we were the uhf site the 'interfering' signal 
originated from, per the FCC agent from Atlanta.

If you disconnected our MSF2000 from its antenna, the interference 
went away.  

The problem was, the interference was still present if our 
transmitter was off-the-air, and the 110-volt power cable was 
unplugged!

We installed a circulator onto our uhf paging transmitter's output, 
with a 25 watt load.  Within seconds the black paint on the load 
blistered and burned off.  The load failed within one minute.  I 
replaced the failed 25 watt load with a 50 watter.  Ditto!  Running 
out of lower-powered loads I connected a 250 watt load.  Within 
seconds it became too hot to touch, but did not fail.

Apparently the 152 transmitter's signal was mixing with the 162 MHz 
weather transmitter's signal, INSIDE OF MY TANK CIRCUIT of my UHF 
paging transmitter !!!

Keep this in mind when chasing interference.



Truth is truly stranger than fiction.

[Repeater-Builder] Re: WTB: Moto 192.8 Hz PL reed

2005-12-28 Thread Mark Cobbeldick
Sorry about the lack of info, and that I did not have the part number 
of the reed earlier.  

The maintance manual only arrived in today's mail.  


Motorola Mocom-10 radio, 25-50 MHz

Per the manual:
Moto PN# TLN6709B  Vibrasponder
192.8 Hz
(handles both tx  rx PL duties)


The reed was missing from the radio when I received it.  I did not 
have any specific info on the reed until I got home from work and had 
the manual for reference.




Thanks guys for the assistance on this,

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Micor 412.XXXX repeater and Syntor X mobile

2005-11-08 Thread Mark Cobbeldick
Hi Paul,
Why not put them on the 420-430 MHz amateur band?

Several states now have 420 MHz fm voice (non-atv) repeaters.  

Texas has six, Virginia has two, Ohio has two itinerent 420 machines 
that appear at Dayton Hamvention every year, and a bunch in SoCal is 
working to coordinate one now in the Los Angeles area.  I have heard 
of several more under construction.


My local machine is on 420.050 out / 426.050 in w/136.5 Hz tone.  
Been on the air for four years not without any interference issues 
with local ATV ops.

 Hello,
 
 Can someone ID a Syntor Radio for me?  The model is T99KX+037W with 
what
 looks to be a FCC I?D of T73KXJ7304BK.  What the heck is a 
T99xxx?
 
 What if anything are these radios worth.  My estimate is not much.
 
 There is also a couple of Micor repeaters on 412/413. MHz, 
these things
 could go to the Ham link frequencies but not much else without 
mods.  There
 are two Micors, one is clean and the other has moderate water 
damage.
 
 Found a guy with a bunch of junk that he wants to sell.
