Mike, I HAVE looked at this page. I looked at it over a week ago. I put the divider network of 2 4.7K resistors to pin 13 of the exciter plug and that cured the problem. Thank you to all who suggested fixes for this problem. 73s Steve --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Mike Morris

Hi Mike, Excellent information. It's a new pager and it's a two channel system, no cans. We're the ham guys and have been there for about 5 years, but only as guests. Yes, there is a non-interference clause, but we do not want to go that route. We're all on good speaking terms (tower owner,

I've seen this exact situation after a unit was moved. It's probably even more likely when both parts are from the same vendor. I've seen it with quick turn parts from ICM, too. I don't know if it's caused by mechanical stress from aging, or the addition of contaminant mass to the quartz

Was the shift a drift or a step jump? If a step jump, you probably have a bad silver mica capacitor. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 04:23 PM 8/8/2010, you wrote: Hi Group, I have a Micor mobile set up as repeater. Worked great and was on frequency for over 8 years no problems.(lost rpt site May 2010) and

The widow filter on the paging transmitter or on your repeater? DCI will do custom designs for special situations, and yours certainly qualifies. If the DCI is going on yours, make sure and plan ahead - I was told about a guy who had to add a DCI box to his system to keep out a new-to-the-site

We had this problem in Johnson radios. What it turned out to be was a plate of a silver mica capacitor coming disconnected internally in the capacitor. This caused the capacitor to shift to a lower capacitance by the amount that the plate contributed to the capacitor. The lower capacitance
