Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module
I have a number of M57729L which are 400-420. The H is 450-470. These hybrid parts lose gain pretty rapidly outside the spec'd range but will make power over quite a wide range. The L will make spec up to 430 or so an have full power capability at reduced gain to almost 440. Probably not an answer for you.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module
Pacific have been out of Kenwood for ages, Best bet is to contact Kenwood directly, or try RF Parts.com in the states. Before you do that, check if the power module has in fact Spat the dummy as many of the TKR-720 and 820's suffered from dry joints in the PA stage. So firstly I would suck up, clean the contacts and reflow with high silver content solder, especially around the inductors. Check for high (Or normal) current draw when running the repeater on 12 volts and if there is little or no RF out the transmit socket, suspect dry joints. I've re-soldered more TKR final stages than actually replacing the Hybrid PA module. Hope this helps? Gareth Bennett RadioSystems P.O.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module
Hello Byron, The M57729 is a standard Motorola PA Slab. Yours is the Kenwood Part number, M57729h-01-P. The standard Motorola module will be available off the shelf,,, BUT,,, it will be priced @ $230.oo US. Any equivalent Motorola, or spurious part [30W UHF] will do the job, much cheaper,,, you can cross reference on any good RF Components web site in your area. You may source one from a scrap [ out of spec ] mobile PMR radio for $10.oo, if you know where to look ! 25 watt would be much cheaper and easier to find. Hope this is of some help. 73 from Ireland.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module
Be careful about getting the proper replacement part. The basic M57729, without a suffix letter, is for 430-450 MHz. The M57729L is for 400-420 MHz, and the M57729H is for 450-470 MHz. There are other versions, with different suffixes, for other UHF bands. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of David Struebel Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 12:01 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module RF Parts in California lists the M57729 for $ 68 (US) http://www.rfparts.com/module_m.html#m57704el http://www.rfparts.com/module_m.html#m57704el Dave WB2FTX - Original Message - From: P Grant mailto:ei4hxperimen...@eircom.net To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com mailto:Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2010 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module Hello Byron, The M57729 is a standard Motorola PA Slab.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need source for UHF power module
Check with RF Parts (www.rfparts.com). Years ago I purchased a power module for an IC-2710H Icom and it was about half the price than Icom.
