[Repeater-Builder] EM to Ethernet interfaces

2008-11-12 Thread Gareth Bennett (Ihug)
Hello Group, We are looking for simple EM to Ethernet Interfaces. Single or Dual channels would be great as we have an application where we would prefer not to install a complete MUX assembly where something that would provide us with 4 Wire Type1 EM to Ethernet would be ideal. I'm

[Repeater-Builder] Diamond X510 Failure

2008-11-12 Thread Gmail - Kevin, Natalia, Stacey Rochelle
HI All, After 15 years of faithful service our Diamond X510 dual-band RX antenna has failed. We started getting some noise and poor signal input to the 2mtr repeater. We had decided to check the 2x X510 antennas (1x TX and 1x RX). A couple of weeks ago the TX was checked and found to still be

Go with the shorter antenna, but if you need/want the higher gain and your antenna is side-mounted to a tower, consider adding an anti-sway support near the top of the antenna. I've got one on my 20+ foot UHF Super Station Master antenna. It was pricey ($250US) and I don't think it was

Frank, I don't think you'll find a specific instruction for these models and not sure exactly your starting point so first set up cables like this. http://www.repeater-builder.com/wacom/wp678-665-uhf-tuninginstructions.pdf its best to terminate all 3 ports of the duplexer with 3 or 6 db pads

Attach 2 cables to 'Duplex Out' and 'Antenna In' Attach the ends of the cables to the duplexer, Duplex out to 'Antenna' and Antenna In either side. Terminate the opposite side of the duplexer with a 50 ohm dummy load. Select the Spec Analyzer. Set center range to the first desired tuning

[Repeater-Builder] Mastr II UHF FM exciter question

Hello all I am assembling a Mastr II UHF station into a repeater and have acquired a real FM exciter and crystal for it. I'm having trouble deciding from documents if I should feed it flat or de-emphasized audio? My best guess is that GE designed this so the FM exciter takes the same Mic

Ian, The Motorola catalog lists M1106 and M1107 transistors as special and without any technical specifications. It probably won't change your desire to find out what their specs are, but you can still buy them from Motorola Parts- at very high prices: M1106 is Part Number 4884411L06, $ 133.88

Hi all, I have aquired a EMR Isolator, model 7450/4 for 150-170 Mhz and tuned to 155 MHz. It has 3 tuning adjustments so need to retune it. Can anyone give info as to how to tune it or where I can get info. EMR has good info on what it does and how it works, but found nothing at their site

Ron, Contact EMR and request a copy of the bulletin, Field Tuning of Isolators. Be aware that typical circulators and isolators can be field-tuned perhaps +/- 2% from the frequency for which they were made. If you want to use it at a new frequency that is more than 3 or 4 MHz away, it probably

Ron, A simple but effective method of tuning a single junction isolator (3 tuning ports) can be done by using a few basic steps. First tune the input and output trimmers (usually found on the lower part of the isolator opposite the attached dummy load) for maximum power through the devise. To
