[Repeater-Builder] WTB transistor M9887

2010-06-10 Thread rfburnz
The M9887 is a tripler transistor in the UHF Mitreks and MSR2000, I need one and wonder if anyone has one (new or used) - I just don't want to buy a Mitrek becasue of the shipping, but the MSR exciter is small enough I would purchase the entire module if someone has one, please let me know

I wonder why the Hall Electronics info wasn't usable? anyhow, I tried to post a pdf of the schematic showing the right pinout not sure where it is now on RB group. Look for Orion Program Cable otherwise contact me off line and I can email it to you. W6 MTF --- In

according to a post by Eric Lemmon http://www.mail-archive.com/repeater-builder@yahoogroups.com/msg02135.html The TLB1414C2 is a 100 watt continuous duty power amplifier for 42-50 MHz. Take a look at the board and you can quickly confirm whether or not it is a UHF PA. Contact me offline if

1 in at 144 MHz is approx a 5% change and will affect slightly the RL esp if the source impedance isn't 50 Ohms J0. The overall electrical length technically is that of the coax at its VF plus the length of the loop (in air). Adding an elbow can make a difference at this freq. W6 MTF --- In

here is the way to do it, with yagis. I met one of the individuals involved in this effort on a trip to Quincy and also was able to purchase several of the Yagis that were made using the criteria that came out of this excellent work.

I believe Phelps Dodge sold that configuration (loops back to back on a support pipe) as a railroad antenna, oriented in the direction of the tracks so they could communicate with trains coming and going. I remember the patterns showing an interesting cardiod in both directions. Compared to a

Having used the DB-212 for a 6M repeater project, I can assure you they work extremely well (unless you are on a rf noisy hilltop like I was (emphasize WAS!) This is because they have more metal hanging out there to capture signals (half wave) but more important they are a side mtd antenna

The trouble with pre-made boots is they require a specific sized hole in the wall and if the opening is not the right size it won't fit. I have been using the canned foam with one addition, I use some pieces of high density packing material inside the wall, so the foam isn't required to fill

skipp, I could never get my 6M rcvr quiet on the site you refer to, remember? despite a pass filter ahead of the rcvr, it was no solution to on-channel grunge, besides a mix from the CHP LB nearby also. Ah well! W6MTF --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Nate Duehr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
