Exactly right, Scott did the coils and castings on mine five years ago.Hasn't been touched since.now the xmitter, well that's another story.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Which Micor RX for Two Meters
No, I did every thing from the RB station to repeater conversion instructions. My problems with the Xmitter involve fluctuating audio deviation levels. It is frequency stable and I have a solid 75-78 watts out of the cans. Thanks for your concern and keep up the good work. de Lee K4LJP 73 On Sun, Jun 6, 2010 at 9:57 AM, Scott Zimmerman n3...@repeater-builder.comwrote: Did I do the transmitter as well?

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Which Micor RX for Two Meters
Start with the basics: 1. Clean all of the contact pins and female contacts with a good contact cleaner like Deox-It. When re-installing each of the boards/cards, check check to make sure that all of the male pins are straight and that none of the female contacts have spread - tighten up by squeezing gently with needle-nose pliers where necessary. 2. Clean (or replace) the IDC pot if you haven't already. If speaker audio is normal and doesn't vary in level, and/or if PL injection doesn't change when the audio level changes, chances are it's somewhere in the repeat audio path. But if speaker audio level changes too, then clean/replace the audio level pot on the audio/squelch board as well. Those are my first-pass suggestions. If you want to provide more detail on the problem, including what cards you are using and how you have Tx and Rx wired from the controller to the station, I can probably offer some other suggestions. --- Jeff WN3A -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Lee Pennington Sent: Sunday, June 06, 2010 10:42 AM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Which Micor RX for Two Meters No, I did every thing from the RB station to repeater conversion instructions.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Which Micor RX for Two Meters
Jeff, I suspect the IDC pot as well. I have sprayed and readjusted it before. Sometimes it lasts for five days, and sometimes it's 5 months. Last time was about three months ago, it is still OK, I've got my fingers crossed.
