The loop length is figured very close it's actual length due to the fact that the velocity factor of the loop is very fast (close to 98%) because of the air dielectric, unlike cable that is much slower.   Steve / K6SCA   --- On Mon, 9/15/08, Chuck Kelsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Chuck

Are you *sure* you mean watchdog timer, or do you mean Timeout timer?? I am sure that the watchdog timer in the modules are not causing troubles for you. If they are, there is a reason why they are tripping and there are other problems in the modules. If you are talking about the timout

[Repeater-Builder] APC UPS Charging Power

2008-09-15 Thread Bob M.
I have an APC SU2200 (SmartUPS, 2200VA) 3U tall, that I put new batteries in a few months ago. So far it's just sitting, plugged in, turned off, with no load. I got curious as to how much power it was sucking out of the wall outlet, so I plugged the UPS into my Kill-A-Watt device and plugged

Bob, All standard residential utility meters read out in kilowatt hours. That is the basis for their tarrifs and billing. You are charged on the actual kilowatt hour use. The ups reading lower on actual battery operation MAY mean the charger is disabled and all you are seeing is magnetizing

RGR on the velocity factor... By actual length do you mean the length of the entire conductor, the circumference of the loop? That could be a couple inches on VHF cavities. No wonder the cables I made (which I cut with the help of a network analyzer at work to be right on 1/4 wavelength all

You can try making a cable up that is shorter than you need, then stacking up adapters until you get the proper length. When you find the proper combination of cable and adapters, put it on your test equipment and see what it measures. Then make an equivalent length cable. I have used right
