Re: [Repeater-Builder] Need transistor for SCR200A

Hello Morris, My schematic for the SCR-200 dated 5-17-82 shows Q101 as an MRF901 transistor. My schematic dated 7-22-86 shows it as a 6033. 73, Joe, K1ike Morris Dillingham wrote: Hi Guys, I’m new to the list and have been just lurking and reading the mail but now I can use some

Haven't been following this thread that closely, but if Mobile to repeater coverage in your downtown core area is good but HT coverage is marginal, (and coverage everywhere else is acceptable) why not 1. try a preamp on your repeater receiver or 2. consider changing out the cabling from

Scott; It is the same as Orion It also depends on exactly what cables and/or connector you are pulling from... External PTT and COR need to be mapped in software to external I/O pins.. not all appear on each cable One downside, as of most recent info I have, there is no constant audio

Hi Joe, That's a big help. I saw what appeared to be 106 printed on the transistor but the schematic said 6033. With the information you provided it must be a MRF901. All I had to do was stand on my head and read it correctly. It appears that you have the solution to my problem and I am

I'm going to suggest another Poor man's voter despite the probability that someone, somewhere, has already done so. I was thinking you might go ahead build your 2nd rcv site with a one way link to the main tx. However, you would rely on the link activation to vote the rx signal into the

Hello list dwellers, I went to our repeater site today and found the MASTRII PA dead. I could hear the exciter on my HT and the exciter output checked out OK at 250mw. There was good DC to the PA deck, but no current draw. I checked the usual suspects, the 2 buss wires that carry the DC,

Joe, Use a magnifying glass to closely check every solder joint for cracks. Some such cracks appear due to temperature cycling over time. I have already had the same problem, where a PA was dead at the site but worked fine on the bench. It was around 40 degrees at the site, but around 70 at

If the digital is on a very different frequency, then the frequency change is a reason why digital reception may be problematic. For example, if you are using a VHF antenna to try to receive a UHF digital signal, that will be problematic. -- Original Message -- Received: Sun, 22 Feb 2009
