need help! trying to build a repeater using 2 kenwood tm271, cant seem to
locate a cos signal from the tm271, does somebody have an info or idea? or do i
need to build a cos detector?
Hi Everyone!
I'm looking for an RCA Series 700 or Series 1000 mobile radio, 4 channel, VHF
Hi-Band, with control head, mic and, cabling and, brackets (or as close as
anyone can get to that).
I want to restore one of these radios to working condition for the display
shelf in the radio room.
I
Back when cars had distributors, most tool outlets had nice sets of
distributor wrenches A set of these make short work on small hex style
connectors. Also for knurled connectors Snap-On has or did have a very small
set of Channel locks for use on things like distributors.

Good tape (Scotch 33+ 88) won't do that. Hardware store no-name stuff
self-destructs in no time.

even better-
it's thicker, has a better adhesive, and it has better UV

I don't have either of those radios, but are you talking about a spanner
wrench or spanner driver?
Retaining ring pliers sometimes work too.
I was thinking it was called a 'spanner nut' also. I used to have a few

tried a google search and didn't come up with anything that looked

My Dad always had friction tape as well. He used it to bandage damage to
small trees and limbs and to fix his leaky garden hose (it didn't work
well on the hose - but Duct Tape hadn't been invented yet). I used to see a
lot of friction tape used in knob and tube house wiring too.

Here are a couple of types of spanner wrenches/drivers of the type I'm
talking about. There are other types of spanner wrenches that are shaped
more like a claw, but that's not what I'm talking about.
Nice adjustable type:

The ones I was thinking of were a screwdriver type. They had a round tip
with two 'tits' sticking out. There was also a pin in the center to keep
the tool centered on the nut/jack assembly.
These were mostly used with 2.5mm and 3.5mm phono (headphone) jacks.

They market it as an emergency tape for hoses, leaks, etc. but it's the same
stuff and cheaper than paying for name brand prices from the antenna
companies. It's still

No, Right, your just not trying.
But if you are going to be in and out of a radio on a regular basis you
might consider fabricating a tool. Using thick wall brass tube the diameter
of the nut, cut the 2 'tits' on one end and solder a nut to the other end to
give something to grip with a real
If you install the packet connector mod for the TM 271 you can get COR that
way. Google that or the mods dk site probably has the packet mod listed.

Hello,
I am new to this group. A fellow ham recommended I look into this group to
answer a question I have. I am also interested in amateur radio equipment
design and building so this motivated me to join the group as well.
My question is related to the design of a diplex low band antenna

Steve,
The shorter length stub most likely will give you wider matching
bandwidth... This may be why Motorola spec'd a 1/4λ stub as opposed to a
1/2λ stub, as well as nominally lower costs for the shorter cable length.
Maybe this will help explain my reasoning:
I did this same thing but went about it by a different direction.
I mounted the 52 mhz antenna and the 29 mhz antenna on the roof of
my Ford Explorer. I ran the coaxes down and connected them both to a
Comet 10meter/6meter diplexer and plugged the common end of the diplexer
into my radio.
Look
Thanks Mark and John for your response.
I can appreciate using the Comet CF-360B duplexer as a quick solution,
John. Thanks.
Mark, I can also see the matching bandwidth being better with shorter
transmission line.
But my concern is that 1/4 wavelength transmission line sections seem to
be very

Would it be possible to scan the Motorola document that you have and
post it to the group? I've heard of it but I've never seen it.
All inappropriate.
What's inappropriate? If what he's talking about is a spanner nut, you use
a spanner wrench or a spanner driver to remove it. The thing you posted
from eBay is just a four-size spanner driver. Just because it's marketed
for radio purposes doesn't make it any more

I did take into account the velocity factor in the simulations.
In Ansoft Designer I can specify physical length and VF.
In the antenna simulator I am currently using I cannot specify the VF so VF
= 1 and
I use coax lengths equal to free space wavelengths.
The document was given to me in PDF
