[Repeater-Builder] OT: Wanted Parts for Hitachi V660 or V665 O-Scope
Hi, I am trying to fix an old scope, Hitachi V660. I need the front toggle switch, front trim, and maybe some other parts. If you know anyone scrapping one of these, or where I can get parts, please contact me.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] WTB transistor M9887 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, June 10, 2010, 11:08 PM Â The M9887 is a tripler transistor in the UHF Mitreks and MSR2000, I need one and wonder if anyone has one (new or used) - I just don't want to buy a Mitrek becasue of the shipping, but the MSR exciter is small enough I would purchase the entire module if someone has one, please let me know There is no known sub so please don't suggest anything else. This is a weird transistor as it has the Emitter in the pin that is normally a Collector pin in similar looking packages. Thanks in advance!
[Repeater-Builder] Re: Repeater radio needed-rig advice.....
I would look for some of the newer radios like the SM50/SM120 series or even newer CDM series of radios from Motorola. The early pc programmed Motorola radios (Spectra, Maxtrac, Radius 100..etc)draw a LOT of standby current and are not the best option for a solar site. The radios need to be current friendly unless you have a lot of battery and solar panels with power to waste.

This will be used to PTT the repeater when the link receives a signal encoded with CTCSS - like 85.4 Hz. - Good receiver specs - not easily affected by intermod or adjacent channel interferance. i.e good selectivity. - Transmitter power adjust from 5-25 + watts.

Hi guys .I have the genuine software and programming cable and kg108 uhf radios and I am trying to read and program them .The software is installed on a Toshiba 700mhnz laptop running win98se .and when I try to communicate with the radio it comes up with error in communications .I have tried running it in dos and still the same .It seems to be a com error because I have 2 programming cables and the get the same result with both.Can anyone suggest anything Thank You, Ian Wells, Kerinvale Comaudio, 3A Murchison Street,Biloela.4715 Ph 0749922449 or 0409159932 or 0749922574 www.kerinvalecomaudio.com.au

You know that com port works? Older machines serial ports were poorly or not even buffered sometimes. Also if this is a programming laptop, where you use it to program other radios, make sure none of the other programming software is tying up that com port while the machine is running.

Nope, the breaker did just as the designer intended. The power strip is designed to carry 7 to 10 amps and the breaker is sized for that. The MOV went into avalanche mode and conducted - pulling several amps. Now do the math, 120v AC times, oh - pick a number - 3 amps, is 360 watts of heat generated by a device the size of a large disk ceramic capacitor. You don't think that 300+ watts of concentrated heat isn't going to do some damage? And hot enough to melt a plastic housing? And maybe char an area of carpet? Or catch the melted plastic on fire? (remember, most inexpensive plastic housings are made from petroleum-based plastics). Remember that 3 amps is a lot less than the trip point of ANY power strip fuse or breaker. And it could be 5, 10 or more if it's a 15 amp breaker. Mike WA6ILQ

Go to: Start Control Panels System Device Manager Verify that your Com 1 and/or Com 2 are present under the 'Ports' drop down tab. If Com 1 is present, click it, and click Properties (Or right click it then drop down to Properties). Again, verify that Com 1 is functional and functioning normally. Lets go from there.

Older machines serial ports were poorly or not even buffered sometimes. Also if this is a programming laptop, where you use it to program other radios, make sure none of the other programming software is tying up that com port while the machine is running.

Hit the 'Start' button, and in the shutdown menu, one selection will be Restart in MS-DOS mode. Select that, and it will take you to a true DOS environment. You'll have to navigate back to the directory you have your program in from there using DOS commands. Jim faint_grain.jpg
