Hi folks, Might anyone have one or two GE1000 / 1000GE cabinet keys they don't need? Mine was, sadly, misplaced. One would be great, two even better. (I can hide the second one somewhere I won't lose it!) If so, please contact me off list. Thanks 73, -Matt W6KGB GRONK Radio Net Yahoo!

420-430MHz is the site-to-site /linking/ band here in SoCal, *not* a mobile relay/repeater subband. We've had active links on the band for about 40 years. Due to the concentration of radios in our area, it would neither be practical nor desirable to place repeaters in the 420-430 subband again.

Here in Southern California the surrounding border-areas, there are several systems with long paths on 420MHz (the same as 440MHz path behavior). One of the longest is ~165 miles @ 13W before duplexer/feedline losses. 10-20W is quite typical for links, and 50W is overkill for most. Most of

Indeed, everyone has made a good point (or more) in this thread. I agree with Kevin, GE's MASTR II PLL VHF Exciter, or a tube set on any band, are certainly better. There's a high-performance UHF system that I'm involved with utilizing a B94MSY (1/4KW tube PA) with only a PD526 duplexer and

The tuning for the WP-642 is the same as the 641, but you'll have to tune the additional 2 cavities on the radio side; which are simply Band-Pass: http://www.repeater-builder.com/pdf/wp641.pdf Kevin This may also help: http://www.repeater-builder.com/pdf/wp643.pdf Kevin I *may* have

Jim, The RX should tune well enough. If not, visit http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/mastrIIsplitconv.html. Be sure to have your MASTR II manual handy for referencing parts. (Yes, I need to update the article with proper LBI numbers) Modification of the helicals is in all likelihood
