Re: [Repeater-Builder] Silver Plating - Cheap Easy
Thanks for the info George. Yes, the use of the word developer was most likely my bad. I did processing in my teen years, had my own darkroom and while writting the below, I was thinking of Hypo. Bbut then a lot has changed in the past 70 years since my developing days and I assumed things may have changed and the process along with it. Your thoughts are appreciated and I'll file this away for future use.

For many years I recovered the silver from my fixer by adding powdered zinc, which will dissolve more easily in the solution than silver will, causing the silver to precipitate out. Collected over 28 ounces over the years. His method of silver plating probably involved connecting the negative lead of a low-voltage source to the can, filling it with used fixer, and then suspending a zinc electrode in the solution, connected to the positive lead. The zinc goes into solution, and the silver, instead of precipitating out, plates out onto the can. If the fixer is sufficiently loaded with silver (exhausted, in photo-speak), it will plate out on copper without any current source, but adding the batteries will speed things up result in a thicker layer of silver.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] radial tire static?
Had much of that trouble back in the '50s We used powdered carbon. I have no clue on availability today, but to install, jack vehicle, rotate wheel so the valve is at the bottom position, remove valve core which will deflate tire. Lower the jack with the valve stem still in the bottom position. This will complete the deflation of the tire. With a home brewed paper funnel, pour carbon powder into funnel as someone jacks auto, which will suck the powder into the tire. Then reinflate. Good luck. Gene Ferguson, W4FWG Not repeater related so much, but I thought the great minds here might know... One of my corporate bosses, a ham, is having his bridgestone tires generate static while they are rolling, interfering with AM radio reception. I know somebody used to sell a powder to put in the tires that dissapated the static, but can't find any info on it now. It has to do with some problem with low rolling resistance tires that have low carbon content.. Any ideas? thanks! dave Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Help needed
Makes a lot of sense, but the gentleman who has offered them to us is in the business. We will be hanging our new repeater on a commercial tower he owns. The unit is a base unit, is in working condition and he has offered to tune it and the duplexers we hope to obtain, for free. Can't beat the price.

I believe I have the answer on the crystal units, however, as I'm told we can use the existing element, just replacing the crystal and getting it tuned and adjusted for the new crystal.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Help needed - Micor
Tnanks for the reply. The current system has quite a mixture, 440 receive
links to a separate 2 meter receive site. With separate XMIT and RCV sites,
we don't have need for duplexeers. We do have a set, but they are for frequencies
above the ham band, or some other spread. The lowest freqency we can get
the lower frequency cans to tune is very near the upper limits for 2 meters.
The higher frequency cans are outside the ham band and and when we attempt
to bring them closer to the desired frequency, the spread is beyond belief.
We had professional helpand they, too, advise that the cans will not tune
to the ham band. The outer cylinders are made of aluminum. If they were
copper, I could "make them work. I can do machine work."
We are to receive, free of charge, if you can believe that, a complete, working
repeater, less pwr supply. We even get 180 ft. of 7/8th inch hardline, same
price. No antenna,though - gosh!
Thanks again for the come back.

No, the rods are full length, in fact they will bottom out. With the caps or inductors removed they simply will not tune down to the ham frequency.

We have the opportunity to replace our present "pieced together" repeater with a Micron, which is offered at a better than believable price. We will need crystals, however. Can anyone give us the approzimate cost of a set of crystal units for this endeavor. Sorry, I can't provide more info at this time, as I haven't seen the units, which are operational at this time. Too, any good leads on a set of duplexers for 2 meters? Must be operationad and cheap! Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. Gene Ferguson, W4FWG Fairfield, KY Yahoo!
