Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB 268 harness
Hello Larry - I reckon you didn't get any answers because maybe every one like myself didn't know the answer - I have oft wondered about this myself - I have had a DB-224 for years- bought it new and have had problems off and on for years with it - I have wondered if you drilled thru where the goo is installed at the obvious connection point and ripped the innards out - How would you know that they cleared? It seems it wouldn't show on an ohm meter, a loop open is still shorted, right?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Scanner as repeater receiver?OT OT OT
OT - I just had to try and write in one little issue that any one attempting to use a scanner as a receiver should be aware of - I am not going to use any names or calls and if asked I will just say I was lying - A friend of mine worked for a very large FM broadcast station - there link receiver (an expensive little unit ) died for what reason I don't remember, and another friend and mutual acquaintance had a Rad Shak 2006 modded?? I think that is right that would receive 800 mhz and all sorts of wild places - So with a slight amount of ingenuity and in no time flat they had 1000+ foot stick re lit and broadcasting again, all but the stereo wasn't there on your stereo receiver. Whether they got a new link receiver or fixed the old one I don't remember but, the two are coming back to the main studio from the remote site, happy with there temporary fix, and I ask them What is going to happen to it when the power blinks for a split second? It is going to start scanning and you are going to be rebroadcasting all the sheriffs, cell, commercial, just whoever was in that multi channel receiver - at 1000+ feet with a 25,000 watt transmitter into a 6 db I think antenna with 3.5 inch heliax - They made a very hasty U-turn and beat it back to the station. Reprogrammed all of the receive frequencies the same and it worked quite well for a couple of weeks until the regular receiver was fixed - Just thought I should mention another of the possibles involved - Thanks for the indulgence - NØATH / Dave - Original Message - From: skipp025 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2008 6:15 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Scanner as repeater receiver? I posted the following reply to the group on Aug. 13th and it doesn't appear on the group (although Jeff received my email direct). Here it is again to the group... Re: Re: Scanner as repeater receiver? Hi Jeff, There are some conditions where a scanner receiver could be modified for use in repeater and base station applications. First you can throw away the label/word quality... it's all about the actual circuit design and construction of the scanner in question. Scanners as a general rule are very, very, very wide frequency range receivers with very modest/light/non existent front-end protection, which often leads to other problems you don't normally run into with true communications grade receivers. Some scanners have pretty much the exact same back-end circuit design (with minor differences) as kit communications receivers made and sold for repeater operation. Let me try to quickly talk about one common example. Some older crystal controlled scanners make semi fair repeater receiver candidates with the following considerations: 1. The receiver front-end (pre-selection) should be improved. In most cases the receiver front-end is not usable as-is/found. There are also cases where the antenna input jack is not a true 50 ohm antenna port. The more practical fix is improve the receiver front end protect with an additional filter or seriously modify any usable original circuit. High-Q Helical front-end circuits are/were made and sold, which do work for the cause. I used to like and use the HRA units sold by Hamtronics, but they no longer offer that exact product. Still the HRA Preamp Pre-selector Manual is available on the Hamtronics web-site if you want to see an example. 2. The receiver IF Filter might be wider than the best value for your application. If the scanner IF filter (often referred to as the Crystal Filter but not always a crystal type device) is really a generic/default wide value chosen for typical consumer grade scanner operation. You/I/we can often replace the stock IF Filter with much improved after-market IF Filter products sold by Comm-Spec and other sources. 3. The Squelch circuit might not be the best operational situation for your application. Scanner receivers more often than not have a very mushy consumer grade squelch circuit, which is sometimes easily modified with a common parts value changes. Since many scanners and some communications receivers have similar trailing circuits... it's not hard to find a very similar squelch circuit layout to copy into your application. 4. You would need to tap into the receiver to obtain audio sources and usable COS/COR logic levels. Not hard and that information is available as mentioned just above. The IF and Audio Sections of a receiver are fairly easy to deal with when you have a circuit diagram in hand and the resources of this group available to help you. 5. Some synthesized (programmable) Scanners might not have a stable enough VCO operation for use as a serious receiver. You could often hear hum, warble, noise and Selection D (all the above) in the recovered audio. Once again since many scanners and some communications receivers have similar circuits, it's not super hard to find a comparable VCO layout/circuit to help

Re: [Repeater-Builder] How to remove Scotch Kote

Let me tell you there is nothing much nastier than 5th wheel grease - I got a gob of this on my cap and then got into my pickup that has this late model fuzzy interior and I rubbed this cap around on the light gray fuzzy headliner all the way home one night - I mean I really ground it in too. We have here an Orange spray cleaner made by ZEP and it is normally only found around commercial installations. I held a paper towel behind the area sprayed and it completely washed this area clean right back to original appearance when dry - It was awesome - I thought the headliner was ruined but after drying you couldn't even tell where it had ever been stained.

If the combined voice + CTCSS level hits the limits of a clipper for a long enough duration, (like the guys who feel the need to key their mics before thinking of what they'll say, and fill with u...) you could drop the receiver if the audio distortion confuses the CTCSS decoder.

I know that 15 years ago I set up a GE Mastr Pro repeater with dual PL encoding on the transmitter for a special project. I put each (comm-spec) PL encoder at 350 Hz deviation and every decoder was able to lock up. Two PL tones deviating at 350Hz each gave me about 750 Hz PL deviation on the repeater transmitter. I had to build a filter network to roll off the sum of the PL tones; 100 Hz and 146.2 Hz wanted to produce a third PL tone. So I built a filter network which started to roll off every thing above 200 Hz before it went in to the modulator stage.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Reasonably low wind load antenna
Hello Gentlemen - I used a pair of Ringo ranger II's some years ago and can possibly help with your decision - The Ringo has a very limited life at heights much greater than say maybe 50 feet - I have seen them on roof mounts and push up poles that were up for maybe 20 years and always worked fine according to their owners - however, at heights approaching 100 feet and greater they are beat to pieces in a few short years by Mother Nature - I am sure there will be exceptions due to environments but for the greater part they will come down either in pieces or to be replaced by a more commercial type antenna - Actually the same will hold true for the fibersticks - there is enough flex and movement in the amateur products that they also will generate noise from loose or stretched wires internally that they at best will only hold up at great heights for just a few years - the higher and harder it is to get to your antenna for maintenance the more chance it is going to need it sooner - Put up the best one the clubs finances can possible be stretched to and you will end up spending the least in the in the long term. And you will have the least repeater problems to aggravate your blood pressure.
