Hi All I recently purchased a Sinclir I2210A Dual Isolator for our local 2m repeater. I was wondering if there is anyone out there who has information on how to align this device ? Kindest regards Wullie GM0MZB Keeper GB3FE and GB3OH

[Repeater-Builder] Circuit diagram for interfacing 2 maxon pm150 repeaters together

2009-06-12 Thread kerinvale
Would anyone have a simple diagram for joining 2 separate maxon sm4450 repeaters together in real time I.e. Rx1 --+---tx1 I Rx2--+tx2 So what is received from rx1 transmitts to tx1 and TX 2 and what is received from rx2 goes over tx1 and tx2 Thank You, Ian Wells,

Hi Ian, How about building a 3 way 600Z resistive bridge with 7x 220R resistors, feeding each TX into two of the three ports and utilising the last port for either RX1 or RX2, which is switched into the remaining port via the active RX COS control driving into a DPST relay to select the

Hi Willie, You should be able to get that info from Sonclair Technologies, Cambrigde. 01223 42 03 03. They have a short term internet access problem this morning but suggest try later in day once Canada wakes up and fixes the issue. Best regards, Doug - MM0BJA This might double up... ---

Wullie, If the isolator was made for a frequency that is more than 4 MHz away from your 2m transmit frequency, it cannot be tuned to work properly that far away from its design frequency. No matter who makes the unit, each isolator (which is called a circulator if dummy loads are not provided)

Larry, That's an excellent question! Since the Micor circulators were designed and intended primarily for protection against PA destruction due to load mismatches, they are a special case. When protection against intermodulation was needed, an additional outboard isolator was specified- and

Ian, Do you happen to have wire line control options on those? I tried to do a quick search for a manual online for them and got nothing. It should not be any big issue at all to bridge the two repeaters together. Just need to see what kind of control setup they are using. -Kevin
