Why don't you call the factory! They are very helpful if you don't keep them on the phone too long. The repeater was back to the factory more times than I care to mention. The overload problem was reported every time it went back and it always returned working the same way - not fixed. Like

Re: [Repeater-Builder] MICOR Squelch clones

I disagree that an audio delay board negates the positive effect of a MICOR squelch. I have several repeaters where the controllers utilize an audio delay and MICOR squelch and none of them suffer any deficiencies because of the presence of the audio delay. In fact, it's nice to have a clea

Skipp does have a really good point... I worked pretty hard to incorporate a micor chip onto a circuit board with an MX Com (whatever they are now) CTCSS chip, and audio gating, etc... a "universal receiver interface" board. Fabricated it, made it all work really nicely. Spent about a month

There's a lot of history about the squelch circuits on the various repeater receiver boards related to Hamtronics, Kendercom, Spectrum and Hi-Pro... etc, etc. There are many different types of squelch circuits but most of these circuits use a common design and operation theme. A lot of Scanne

Re: [Repeater-Builder] kendecom repeaters on 220

I reverse engineered the 6709 when I was in High school. It is basically a couple of op-amp sections configured as fairly narrow high frequency band pass filters, an audio to DC rectifier, window comparator and some switching logic to decide whether to be instant closure or switch to 150mS delay.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 2 meter Heliax Duplexers. Anybody try?

While I cannot answer your "will it work" question, I can add an observation. I built a heliax duplexer for 6-meters as well. It worked. However, it was extremely touchy as far as staying in tune, and mechanical vibration was part of the problem in keeping it in tune. I am certain that transpor
