[Repeater-Builder] Noise in Repeater Output

2008-04-28 Thread Jim Brown
Eric makes a very important point here. I have found in several cases that the placement of the filter capacitor in a circuit makes a great deal of difference in its effectiveness. For instance, in one case we were using a simple transformer/rectifier/filter cap power supply on the low

The Motorola TLD9640B, described as Wattmeter VHF in the catalog, was only recently cancelled. I suspect that it is a Telewave PA-2A-300 RF Power Monitor. Go here for info: www.telewave.com/pdf/TWDS-3015.pdf 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From:

Jim, It sounds as if the added filter cap was an RF or high freq related problem/solution. Often where a bypass cap is placed on a PCB can affect it function in reducing noise. When trying to fix a hum or other noise problem it is best to determine the cause and then the solution. In your

The circuit on the audioamp web page is a speaker monitor amp. Look here: http://www.repeater-builder.com/tech-info/op-amp-design-reference.pdf Set aside an hour or so and read that, and you will have a much better mental handle on the whole op-amp concept. Mike WA6ILQ At 07:19 PM 04/27/08,

The radio audio input is probably a higher level because of the electret cartridge inside the mic. And some mics might also have a small preamplifier stages inside. I would guess the electret cartridge first and maybe followed with a preamplifier stage... Mototorola does it on some of their
