Ralph, Motorola did make a special power supply for running the Micor station off of a 12 volt battery system. It is Model TPN1121A. They are fairly rare but very nice. I use these on our solar sites here in Western Oregon for our Micor repeaters. I would be surprised if you could not come up w

Does anyone know what the replacement button kit part number is for an A9 Spectra? My A9 control head has most of the labeling rubbed/worm off all the buttons, and Motorola has 5 "possible" on their parts website - they only describe them as "button kit" so I have no idea what I'm actually looking

I don't think I ever tuned a hi band LLT. I know the alignment procedure for the low band LLT tells you to drop the power supply voltage to something like 11 volts (when tuning the transmitter) and then back to normal power supply voltage for final transmitter alignment. -- Original Message -

Mike, The 150 Mc. has exactly the same 50 Mc. "driver" which, instead of going to an output filter, goes to the varactor tripler. So the VHF hi radio has the worst of both worlds; the germanium "drivers" AND the varactor. That's precisely why I'm afraid to touch mine until I can find the prope

Hi Curt, Yes, that is the way I recall seeing the Dual Band antenna in the old DB products catalog. Have you tried checking the upper and lower halves to see what kind of SWR you have at the operating freq. ?? If it is convient, measure the end to end length of the upper and lower dipoles. T

Good day Doug. I have a DB dual band antenna similar to what you are describing, it has 4 folded dipoles for two meters, and 8 folded dipoles for 440. These are two on each side of the pipe for two meters and four on each side of the pipe for 440. The diameter of the pipe is slightly smaller

Hi Tony, to answer your question if it will work, the answer is yes it will and i am doing it on a site the same way. You will however need two dual isolators to add to each transmitter. You will tune the reject the same way as you would normally for the specific frequencies. Good Luck, Mike

I had to build one of these 5 years ago. I had a mast from a DB-413 that was a 406-420 cut antenna. I used a New DB-408 and a New DB-222 and mounted the DB-408 on top and the DB222 on the lower part of the mast. I used a good quality RG-8U coax jumper to the bottom of the mast for the DB-408.
