One further thing: these are subject to intermittent pins connecting the back plane to the exciter interconnect board.. I have fixed many of these with excessive voltage drops on the exciter "final" 12 volt line pin, and the line connecting the 12 volts to the tripler.. also check the small plug

Hi Guys. What is the power output of the UHF Micor (VHF really) exciter BEFORE the 1st bandpass filter? What about AFTER the 1st bandpass filter? I have the manuals, and I know what they say, but I am looking for some real world data. I have got to be doing something wrong or all of my spare

Thanks Eric, the repeater is a converted micor feeding a 200 watt vocom amp, there is also a 25 watt remote radio for 440 and then all the remote receivers, controller, weather radio, and that is about it. Mathew Eric Lemmon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Mathew,

Mathew, The Motorola TPN1110B power supply is rated at 25 amperes continuous, but will supply up to 35 amperes before losing regulation. It is designed to supply MICOR 100-watt continuous-duty stations, so it should be fine in your application. What make and model repeater do you have, and what

I was just given a Motorola TPN1110B 25 amp power supply for use on the repeater. Currently I have a Astron 70 amp power supply online. When the repeater is keyed up, the meter shows a current draw of right at 25 amps. Will this power supply handle full duty cycle at 25 amps, or is it a 20 amp w

I've tuned duplexers with a signal gen and receiver, with a spectrum anal with tracking gen and sweep gen with detector. The spectrum anal with tracking gen was the best, but all worked. One thing a sweep gen gives you is not only the notch, but the width of the notch which a simple gen with
