When You say you're hearing a buzz in the background indicates to me either severe line noise or, more likely, TV video from some high power station TV transmitter. Try a substitute simple home made ground plane antenna to rule out intermod generated from the antenna. If noise is still

Hi All, I've searched the archives website for info on this Amp and can't find anything. It's sort of similar to the N1275A or the N1248A convert-a-com amps but for a Motorcycle (I was told). It looks like the back end of a MoCom 70 heat sink. I need more specific schematic or manual info so I

Some years back, when we installed the repeater (also 146.760/160) in a new building, we noticed a weak buzz...buzz signal ~once a second, very near the input frequrncy. After much searching, it turned out to be the smoke alarm heads within the building, all hard wired into their own AC line.

Anyone have an extra Amp available for spare parts. It looks like I've lost one of the finals due to self oscillation and destruction. Polyfet has a few in stock (lotsa $$$) but it's no longer reccommended for new designs. I can't seem to find a suitable (newer)substitute using the AT

I remember reading an article about a repeater in the late 40's or early 50's that was on a mountain top in Arizona. It was AM mode, repeated from 28 MHz (I think) to 50 or 144 Mhz, or maybe it was split site. To be legal, all was logged on a very slow tape recorder. That's about all I can

As I mentioned in my earlier posting, The last IF is probably 1.7 MHz if the receiver model is a FMRU13V(A). A rcvr without the (A) in the model number was a less selective receiver that (I believe) used a higher freq last IF. That may be what you have with the 2.9 MHz last IF for low band
