Re: [Repeater-Builder] Spectra time-bomb caps.
Is there a link to this article? I had a copy of instructions on re capping once but misplaced it when I upgraded my hard drive. Thanks Steve Murphy wrote: Hello everyone, A couple of weeks ago, I sent Bob, WA1MIK a message thanking him for his fine article on recapping the Spectra radios. At work, we have a fleet with several hundred 800 MHz Spectra C5 and C7 mobiles. Over the past year or so, they've been dropping like flies. I've now gone through nearly 50 Spectras with various problems, and in all but four radios, replacing the electrolytic caps and cleaning the circuit boards restored proper operation! There were many different symptoms, but the one thing that I saw repeatedly were radios that would work OK when first powered up, and then develop various problems after running a while. Bob's article gives Digi-Key and Mouser part numbers for the replacement capacitors. I've used the Mouser numbers, and they're right on target. On the last batch of radios that I repaired, I did deviate from Bob's parts list in that I used a 10uF/25V tantalum to replace the 10uF/16V factory electrolytics. The reason for the substitution is that the tantalum cap is physically smaller, making it easier to install, especially in the tight spaces near the audio IC. The Mouser part number for this cap is: 74-595D106X9025B2T. Another thing worth noting is that in the three 900 MHz Spectras that I've recapped, the 47uF cap on the RF board was not present. It was present on all of the 800 MHz and 450 MHz Spectras that I've worked on. Thanks again to Bob for his article, and I hope that this posting might help someone else. 73/GL Steve N8NM Yahoo!

It was in use until 1/12/07 and in good working condition the only reason we pulled it was to replace it with a narrow band complaint repeater.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Co-Locating in an Elevator Room
This is a new one to me.I have several remote receivers and repeaters co-located in elevator rooms along side several PD FD systems, and never ran in to this problem.I think the elevator company may be trying to get out of their contract and using your equipment as the excuse.NFPA dose govern elevator equipment rooms and I believe it states that the equipment cabinets are to only house elevator related controls only, but it states nothing about the room it self. Maire-Radios wrote: Well my good manThey are right.We can not even put a phone dialer in an elevator room even when it does service the elevator the room is for.We have had to move fire alarm panels and access control panels out of elevator rooms.Now if you can build a wall to have your equipment in a little room by it self even if you have to go through the elevator room that will meet code. (and the wall's I seen have not even been fire rated)Or the other is to get an outdoor box and just move the repeater to the outside.Been there and have had to do that also over the years.This has been going on since about 1981 when we put our first unit in an elevator room and when the state inspector came out it had to be moved. - Original Message - From: Justin W. Pauler [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2006 4:39 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Co-Locating in an Elevator Room Hello Everyone... I got some news today regarding my repeater and I'm a little concerned... I think I'm getting the shaft on this deal. I signed a lease with a building to place an antenna on the roof and a repeater and cabinet inside of the elevator room for a said amount of money. About 6 months ago I completed the install and everything has been kosher since. Today I got a call from the Security manager asking me to meet up with him and the elevator maintenance man regarding a problem with my equipment. This meeting was very simple, I was asked to remove my equipment from the elevator room, not because it is causing problems, but because it has the potential to cause problems. I was told the following things: 440 Mhz is too high of a frequency to be in an elevator room NFPA and the elevator code says that nothing can be stored inside of an elevator room other than equipment directly relating to the operation of the elevator system Even if the unit is just receiving, it is still building up frequency on the walls of the room that will cause bad things to happen eventually. While normally I would tell this fine maintenance man which door he could use on his way out, he is pulling rank and telling me that if the unit stays in the room longer than 1 month, his company will no longer be able to honor it's service contract with the building. So Sounds like I'm up a creek The fact still remains though, I've never heard of NFPA specifying anything about elevator rooms and I've never heard of an elevator code (but that's not saying it isn't out there). I've also been in plenty of other elevator rooms in which radio frequency equipment was housed and transmitting sometimes in excess of 10 times my power with no issues... Why is this becoming an issue with me? Any suggestions? Anyone know of a good waterproof cabinet that can go outside? Is that a good idea? Help. Justin -- Justin W. Pauler Baton Rouge, LA Yahoo!

Mathew */Eric Lemmon [EMAIL PROTECTED]/* wrote: Since a repeater's range is limited *primarily* by its ability to receive, you should concentrate on those factors which directly affect receive sensitivity. One of the most common problems is the use of a duplexer that has insufficient isolation for the combination of transmitter power and receiver sensitivity. A transmitter PA that produces a dirty signal (one with spurs) coupled with a broadband receiver will require much more isolation than a pure-carrier tube PA and a very narrow-band receiver. Does the range improve if you reduce transmitter power to, say, 20 watts? Does the range improve if you remove any preamplifier on the receive side? Does the range improve if you put a single bandpass cavity with 1.0 dB of insertion loss between the duplexer and the receiver?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Multiple receivers one antenna ???
That sounds like an interesting solution, I would be interested in learning more about it. Ralph Hogan wrote: Along these lines, someone on the list mentioned using coax multi-dropped (coax tee) off to each receiver for a voter application. Can't find the original posting. I was curious about the lengths required between the antenna and then to each radio? tnx, Ralph W4XE If you are able to lose= - 6 db of the signal to each receiver you could use a passive device which you can build yourself and save many many dollars. There is pleny of information on the webon a 4-port Wilkonson divider . The same phasing harness is used for a 4-stack dipole array so you could ask around for one or buy it off the shelf-these are frequenct contious. Regards Bradley GlenZS5WThttp://members.harc.org.za/zs5wt It's easy!What you need is known as a multicoupler.This unit usually comprises a preselector to limit the bandwidth of the incoming signals, a low-noise amplifier, and a splitter with two, four, or eight output ports.The gain of the amplifier is tailored to the number of splits so that the loss in the splitter is overcome. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY - From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Vincent Caruso Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2005 1:04 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Multiple receivers one antenna ???
