Who is this other guy that repairs TE equipment?
We have been running a TE amp on our 220 machine for a few years now. There
are not a lot of users of 220 in our area so it isn't keyed up like the VHF or
UHF machines here. We did need to send the amp back to TE for a repair that
most likely

Both KJ6KO and and KM1H have done AMP repair. I exchanged several e-mails
with kj6ko about TE amps a few years back and he was very helpful.
Unfortunately kj6ko's web page says he is no longer doing repairs but it
might be worth sending him an e-mail.

Hi Folks,
I've been looking into making a solar repeater (from the
Micor repeaters that I already have on hand).
Obviously the 100W or 60W amplifiers are out of the question,
not only in power, but really in size.
I noticed that there is some silkscreen on the transmitter
interconnect board (in
Yes, they were commonly used to drive the bigger 330W Tube-type amplifiers.
I have some in the VHF band. You may consider using a Japanese power
module. (commonly found in mobile rigs) These modules are VERY efficient
and are well suited for solar power applications. They can be found at
Yes, Motorola made a TLE1683 for 450-470 and a TLE1681 for 406-420 both 12 watt.

Please disregard last. I missed the VHF in the header. Sorry.

Hi
Hi Tim,
I hope you have a very large solar/battery plant if you are wanting to run a
Micor off it...
The Micor is by no means solar friendly.
Hook one up and measure the standby current, then plug those numbers into a
solar power budget calculator, and hang onto your wallet. :)
You'd be
Hi Lee,
Yeah, I know it doesn't exactly 'sip' power, but we do have
a lot of sun around here! :-)
I've measured the current, with all the 'necessary' modules,
it's a bit less than 500 ma. I think I might be able to improve on
that a bit also.
If this were a primary repeater, I'd do a bit more
I need four 118.8 PL reeds for an MSR rptr project !!!
I have two pairs to trade 110.9 and 136.5
Any help/direction is appreciated !

Didn't know whether Mot actually had put a low power amplifier
into the space or not.
Anybody know?
Hi Tim,
Yes,
THAT was a great article. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Add-on anecdotal note:
A local public safety agency had a number of Vocom's of some/one
of the pre-Crecend vintages. They kept blowing them up.
Apparently at some point after the buy-out, Cresend started
shipping their newer
Hi Scott,
Thanks for the info... I've got a board with an older Motorola
RF module on it (plus a couple of spares). I think that I might
use that board, else I'll checkout the boards here on R-B.
Got to thinking that I'd like to make it a 20w repeater, so the
12w strip wouldn't work anyhow.
