Not exactly true.
Analog operation for TV in metro areas will cease in Feb 2009. LPTV and
translators that are analog will be allowed to continue operating and
currently have no sunset time.

Unless it has something like lacquer thinner in it there is not a chance of
it working. On upholstery I don’t know. It depends on what it is, if it’s
plastic based I would be very careful. If it’s a cloth material I would try
the lacquer thinner then the MEK. MEK also dries very fast. Needless
Scott,
I think you mean 3M "Scotchkote." I'd try using Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK),
Acetone, or Xylene. These are all very aggressive solvents, so care must be
used in their use. Once Scotchkote dries, it may be difficult to remove.
Chemical-resistant gloves should be worn.

Chuck,
The best thing to thin it with is MEK (Methyl Ethel Keytone). You can take
a can that's almost dried up and restore it to a useable substance. Acetone
will clean it off your hands somewhat but dries almost to fast. I found
that lacquer thinner works a little better because it does not dr
Gary,
Although I have not worked with the 900 MHz versions of the MTR2000, I doubt
that it is possible to tweak the CPS to change the band edges. Both the
receiver and the PA have their band ranges embedded into their internal
chips, so hacking the CPS cannot change that. Urban legends about CPS
Don,
The Celwave PD5042-1 Duplexer was made in two versions, the PD5042-1-05, and
the PD5042-1-50. Both versions are described in the Celwave and Motorola
catalogs as "dual pass-notch" duplexers.
The PD5042-1-05, AKA the Motorola RDD4900A, was intended for a minimum TX-RX
separation of 500 kHz.
Within any 6 MHz channel, there can be up to four program channels.
Except if one channel is HDTV 1080i,then there is only enough
bandwidth for two other channels. I suppose if a station is cheap
enough not to buy the equipment, they would still use the full 6Mz
bandwidth for one channel, which,
I am thinking a really nice 6M repeater for some of the
old Chan 2 stuff.

Not really. With the huge power in NTSC analog signals around the visual and
aural carriers, as well as the color subcarrier, stations had to be
geographically far apart to be able to share channels. Even odd channel
pairings such as the "taboo" relationships whereby stations could not operate

Don,
The manual I have for a Celwave 5042M-1-2-3 does not spec a power rating for
use at less than 1.0 MHz of 200 W.
It indicates the unit is tunable from 132 to 174 MHz with a band split at 145
MHz requiring different loop assemblies.
Since there are 3 ranges I assume there are three diff

The transistion to the 'core' spectrum started happening around 2001,
mostly with the low power translators.
DTV transistion sounds better in print than Bandwidth snatch. See
channels 70-83. I understand that the auctions for the 108 MHz will
yield between 1 and 4 billion dollars.

But, how is that related to the transition to digital? The same could
have happened with simple channel reassignment.

I don't know that particular duplexer. The close spacing capability is not
an indication that it is a band pass/band reject or a straight notch type
unit. It could be either.
The difference in the smaller mobile type or smaller rack mount type
duplexers is usually in the insertion loss. The smalle
I just pulled the MSDS for ScotchKote (note the
official 3M spelling of the product).
It contains acetone, toluene, and M-E-K, among other
nasty chemicals. So at least some of those should help
soften it and remove it from unwanted surfaces.
Goof Off contains primarily xylene.

Actually, Goof Off is rather safe on hands, probably
more so than acetone. It's like high-strength lighter
fluid. Between that, alcohol, and acetone, something
will make a dent in Scotchkoat.
Yes, Home Depot sells it in various sizes, and it
looks just like an old lighter fluid can. It also does

Hello Scott:
I have used Scotchkoat a few weeks ago on my 10 meter yagi. To get the

Quick question for Eric and others familiar with the MTR's.
The 900Mhz MTR has transmitter band limits of 935-941Mhz. It would seem the
lower limit must
