However, not doing the mod does make the stability solid as a rock (no pun intended). If the channel element has to start up when the repeater is keyed, it has to stabilize. You may never notice the difference except on a monitor or heterodyne with another repeater, but it is there. If your spacing

Mike, good idea. Its definitely annoying to have the oscillator running all the time while working up at the site. Its one of those things that was near the bottom of the priority list to take care of sometime, but that trick should be easy and quick to do... Thanks Laryn K8TVZ --- In Repea

We have a UHF Micor with the unified chassis in operation here. Our exciter is on all the time too. It will modulate any audio sent to it just like the repeater is actually on the air, as long as you are within a few feet of it so you can hear the signal. Seems like I read somewhere that thi

Just a thought, Did you check the Txkey input line to the exciter? AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "rtoplus" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Maire Company" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would try first to clean all the boards where they
