I recently acquired an MSR2000 VHF at a local Hamfest. It is in great shape.
I am looking into setting it up for ham repeater use. I have looked through all
the MSR2000 pages on the RB website regarding the conversion process, ICM's,
etc...
I am in need of the Service Manuals, I believe I read
http://www.wz5q.net/manuals/ts450s/ts450sServiceManualPDF.zip
Happy hours testing.

Finally found the info I needed.
Sorry to bother you all with the listing.

The purpose of using 1/2 WL transmission lines to connect to each side of the

The 1/2 WL lines provide this because what ever impedance (in this application

Eric and Jim,
Thanks for your thoughtful replies. Yes, Jim, I have run into the

station. Trying to use the MFJ analyzer proved fruitless. But your

I built my own clown of the GLD ID board back in the 80's. It is still

A few years back I posted questions about the GLB ID board and somone

does not print out too well.

Why would it need to be a full wave length at pass frequency (or would that be
reject) with a capacitor in series? Shouldn't that be a half with cap splitting
the middle?
Thanks!

Hi Skipp,
I've been following this thread, and I believe I have an ID board here,
SOMEPLACE!!
If I can find it, do you want me to send it to you so you can see what it looks
like?
I may have a manual and/or schematic, if I can locate that also.
Let me know.
Thanks,

Hi Pete,
Why not... the ID'er looks pretty easy to construct if anyone ever
wanted to build one from scratch (for fun and to use) we now have
most of the required information.
The guys have been corresponding with me direct and they've
sent the original ID chip to me for free reprogramming.

That means that you have entered the scan programming mode...in other words
your radio is programmed for Operator Selectable Scan.
Pressing RCL at this point will show you what is in the scan list.
Preeing HOME will exit the list.
Use the SEL button to add a mode to the list (16 entries IIRC)

Oh, Pushing the 'HOME' button will take you out of

In the 'old' spectra, after you hold in the scan button &

The 4" cable is a 1/4 WL and the O.C. stub parallel resonates the loop inside
the cavity to create a broad S.C. a 1/4 WL away fron the tee connector on the
