RE: [Repeater-Builder] mastr II question. . . IFAS Board

2009-01-03 Thread Tony Alviar (Home)
With that said. . . Here is my main problem and question. . .  

A # of years ago local radio club purchased 3 complete repeater stations. .
.  Have one converted working fine with no known issues other than it
doesn't get used as much as I'd like folks to use it ;)

The other two stations one had issues on fire up, other appeared functional
(best as could be told since the units didn't have TX/RX elements in them
and couldn't bench on original freq and had to tune exciter/receiver to high
band elements I have.

Have since rerocked onto a ham freq 147.045TX/147.645RX and have been
experiencing many problems since. (After looking over everything with a
local tech who spends his former life working on Lowband and UHF Mastr
II's--20+ years) stated to check IF Alignment (weird things happening when
audio hit certain levels and such which matched a lot in the GE IF alignment
docs I found on Repeater Builder stating IF Alignment issues)

After looking at other working base with the IF alignment test setup
(o'scope looking at wave forms) it was apparent that this base was
definitely out of alignment.

Still having some issues where I can't get the audio level up to the 1 V RMS
@ P904-11 and P904-17 as outlined in the alignment docs.  (I can get 1V RMS
but wave form coming out of there into repeater controller is clipping as it
is over driven. . . When set for not clipping with 1KC tone @ 3KC deviation
audio level is about .6-.7 V RMS)

Main reason for needing schematic is to follow and see if any thingis weak
in audio path thru everything and couldn't follow audio thru IFAS board as
schematics didn't match up.

My next question is what does R622 on the board (IFAS 19D432667G1 Rev A) do?
Can't find it in text write up or details on RX Alignment. . . Now for
interesting thing schematic lists R622 as being in REV B and later boards
not REV A boards.  Looks too good of a solder job and such to be anything
other than factory so either this board is mislabeled for REV #'s or was one
of the first boards to have R622 put in it before official REV B designation
assigned.  (Reason is this board had both pots R622 and R608 totally at one
of the stops-full CCW--along with other adjustments at one end or the other
before I started with it)

At this point everything is working in this repeater and working close to
where it should be as audio levels just aren't up to snuff and a little on
the weak side. . . .
(will trace audio on next trip to the mountain and go from there)

Thanks all

Currently running a DB408-A (450-470) on a ham repeater here in Western PA

Chuck,
 
Reason I mentioned downtilt is two of the UHF antennas on the tower with
same gain factor on 450-470 with downtilt in the design has similar coverage
to this unit.
 
I'll agree a reduction in gain will do the same.
Thanks for the correction.

Tony, a corporate-fed antenna like the 408 will not exhibit downtilt or

slightly less gain.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Frequency coordi nator auth ority (was � Re: subaudibe tones..)

2007-09-04 Thread Tony Alviar \(Home\)
I concur with Joe.
WPRC has done a good job at putting a CTCSS grid in their coordination area.

Corey-- a note . . . In my case I maintain 4 repeaters in Fayette County, PA
with 3 of them being mounted at 2600-2800 AMSL and a HAAT greater than
1000'.  On the eastern side of the mountain ridge HAAT could be said to be
200' on average with the western side of the ridge, there ain't nothing
higher than us going west for a long way. i.e. till you hit Colorado.  Of
those 4 repeaters, 1 is currently full time PL (443.750+ 131.8 W3PIE), 2 of
the VHF's are in fulltime TX PL with the ability to turn the RX PL on via
DTMF control.  (147.045 + 131.8 W3PIE, 145.170 - 131.8 WB3JNP)  Our
remaining repeater is in the process of going to the same setup and should
be resolved over the next few months (147.255 + W3PIE)

A minor band opening has us routinely picking up mobiles 200-400 miles away
on VHF and same or greater on UHF.  A major band opening will have stations
from Canada talking to stations in Georgia via our repeaters

As a note, when the repeaters are in Full PL and the band is wide open you
may not realize it as the repeater isn't retransmitting the skip.  On the
flip side of that issue, you may not be able to use your repeater system
because the non pl'ed signal is stronger into the receiver than you with the
PL.  Routinely happens with a backup Public Safety Repeater here on
453.525/458.525 118.8 when the skip is wide open.  Traffic from Kentucky
state comes in stronger than the mobiles 15 miles from the repeater.

Getting people to use the PL'ed repeater is another story.  I have been
trying to get people to understand that they can transmit a PL of 131.8 on
the repeater input full time to make the transition to PL repeater easier.
The response I get frequently is :: But the repeater isn't in PL, it won't
work if I transmit the PL. . . .

Enough from me for now.

Tony, KA3VOR

  Every repeater in WPA (Minus ATV) has a CTCSS on their coordination.
  Whether they choose to use it (full time, part time, or at all) is the
  decision of the trustee. So if you don't care for what you heard,
  contact the repeater trustee, as it was their decision to pass the

Our Florida coordinator has some recommendations on equipment specs on

Wonder what requirments your WPA state.
   
Just because an interference problem occurs might not be because of
the equipment. I would hope a coordinator would take a scientific approach
to look at a situation, not just look at the equipment. However, been my
experience few coordinators can take a scientific approach, but they do a
good job.

Generally that is true, but in WPA if a case of interference comes
about, and the repeater causing the interference is not meeeing the
Council's recommended specs on equipment, goess who is going to be
solving that interference or losing their coordination? (in which
case
it will be their responsibility to solve it under Part 97 as well)

I think most repeater coordinators don't ask what equipment one is
running or going to use. This is how it is in Florida anyway. Besides most
coordinators don't know much about the equipment being used.
   
I think they just follow their coordinating policy (distant to
co-channel repeater, height of requested coord, power out, etc). If an
interference problem occurs they might be asked to get involved.
   
There are repeaters packages on e-bay made up of 2 Ham transceivers,
but probably go to some that are not familiar with what equipment, spec
wise, is desired, hi.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] bag phone for repeater 911

2007-05-21 Thread Tony Alviar \(Home\)
Remember that most Bag phones are Analog only devices. . . .
When the carrier shuts down the Analog capability of the Cell Phone Site in
accordance with the FCC Rules/Regs/etc/whatever, the phone will not be able
to dial 911 at all.  In fact, the phone won't function enough to tell you it
can't do anything. . . . .

As an alternative. . . A company called telular makes a cell phone that
provides an RJ11 for voice capability to remote site equipment.
http://www.telular.com/

You should be able to have activated for use as a standard cell phone with
an entry level contract similar to what many used the old bag phones for.

Later,
Tony, KA3VOR

  Well Here in N/W Indiana any Cell Phone even if not in Service Will work
to Call 911 . But I go Fishing in a lot of Places that the handheld Cell
will not work So I tried to get My old Analog 3 Watt with the roof Mount ant
activated No Way I was told No New Activation for Analog But if I would of
kept it active I could. For a little longer



  Keep in Mind in a Emergency at the Repeater site 911 Will give that
Location at the PD Well I guess so would a Regular Phone Patch



  I picked up 2  Brand New Motorola Bag Phone 3 Watt at a Ham Fest for $5.00
and put it in My wife’s car for Emergency use only. Not activated,   If you
got someone you don’t like you can call the Collect at $6.00 and  $2.00 a
Min



  PS





   I recall in the old days of hams making 911 Calls on Repeater Auto Patch
We had to spend more time actually trying to Explain to the Dispatcher why
Their CAD System shows us in some other Place Miles away from where We were
calling, This would take up Valuable time in trying to give Info on the Real
Emergency.



  Good Luck

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Dayton Hamvention space - ticket Information

2006-05-10 Thread Tony Alviar \(Home\)
Uniontown Amateur Radio Club (W3PIE) received ours friday last week.  It's a 
shame that an order placed in mid February took until last week to get 
confirmation that our stuff had been received by Dayton Flea Market 
Committee. . . . .
