This one is a nice pro looking pcb. I'm trying it on a chip from a Phoenix SX. Strange...may be that something went bad the first time I tried.

I know this is comparing apples to oranges, but I have a programmer from RF Guys for the Standard HX240 series handhelds, and it works like a champ. Are you using an old enough computer(slow enough for the programmer)? Sometimes that is a big issue with older equipment. Sorry I can't offer more

One of the easist to interface might be the new Alinco series radio. It has a connector on the back that brings out all the leads you might need for interfacing. You will not have to dig into the radio. Also available in 222Mhz and 2 meters. 73, Joe, K1ike w7vtm wrote: Building a quick

Yes, some of the MSR-2000 power supplies also have battery type selection mode (switching). I understand from reading a MSR-2000 manual, the power supply can be set for Nicad or Lead-acid batteries. I was mostly interested in a battery cut-off circuit, so the power supply doesn't over

The radios recommended on the IRLP site are Moto GM300, Maxtrac, or M120 with the 16-pin options connector, GE Phoenix S or SX, or Alinco DR435T (135T for 2-meters). George, KA3HSW / WQGJ413 - Original Message - From: w7vtm [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

One comment on using the Alinco radios. A buddy ran one on EchoLink and had some cooling issues. He wound up putting a muffin fan near the radio, and then had a hum issue due to coupling to the fan motor. So plan your install carefully with respect to cooling, and take care not to get into the

I also use a phoenix-SX UHF on an echolink setup. I like the phoenix because it has all the necessary signals on the rear connector and they are inexpensive. You don't have to tap inside the radio. The Moto Maxtrac GM300 are also handy if you get the 16 pin rear accessory connector variant.
