Re: [Repeater-Builder] Your old work bench - shop pictures are on ebay!
Whats wrong with a Dynamotor? Ran my Moto 140-D just fine. My headlights got real dim when I would squeeze the PTT but was a great power supply. Then T power came along and caused all sort of new problems. Seems to me we got started with this FM thing back in the 50's some time.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Midland XTR question...
There is a COS point on the main board. A pair of midland radios will make a great repeater and one will make an easy remote. Much better that a GE or Motorola. Try it, you'll love it. Vincent N6OA na6df wrote: Looking at buying a midland xtr for 6 meters from an ebay vendor. I can't remember, but does the XTR have a busy light that I could use as a COR? I want to use the radio as a remote base. Unless one of you can provide me with something better for a reasonable price. I would love to have a Vertex VX series radio for 6 meters, I might even be willing to swap for a UHF version or two. Whaddaya got? Yahoo! Groups Links

I was working for Raytheon Corp. in southern California - we had a 1 Kw linear amplifier made for the military - fed into a dummy load. One day, I tuned the matching receiver to a part of the 40 meter ham band and listened for a while to some nearby conversation. Seems there was a ham who lived nearby so, using the 1 Kw amplifier on the dummy load, I called him - he replied suggesting we QSY elsewhere and requested I zero him when I tuned to the frequency he was on ... I asked him to zero to me when he found me as the equipment I was using didn't have variable frequency tuning as we know it. What I was using was a US Army communications trailer mounted HF station with two receivers, and an exciter with optional 1 Kw and 10 Kw linear amplifiers available. The system tuned from 2.0 Mc to 29.9 Mc in 10 cycle steps. The external power amplifiers were auto-tuned too. The power acceptable was 120/208, 50-400 cycle three phase. The QSO was brief but enjoyable. Neil McKie - WA6KLA W8DZN wrote: How about turning up your power to see how far you can have a QSO on a Dummy Load? Kenneth P.
