I believe Pin 14 on the PL board is the encode disable pin. Simply grounding this pin disables the encoder. You can also find a COS signal at pin 5 of the squelch gate slot. It is active high. Using two NPN transistors, and a few 10k resistors, you can have the COS drive the first transistor

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR2000 help?

I have the test box for a nominal fee... which is negotiable ;-) small black box .. probably 5" x 2" x 1 3/4" with a meter... came from a MSR-2000 that belonged to a past client. The radios have been taken out of service for about a year, but meter should be OK. Let me know if you want it...

[Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR2000 help?

Randy, You really do need the manual and a good multi-meter (as in Fluke 70 or 80 series)... or the Motorola supplied metering box. If you don't find a manual, email me off the list and I'll try to help you with some basic checks and some possible diagram help after those checks. cheer

Thanks Skipp. I have both the 1086 and 1088 elements. I assume the 1086 is TX and 1088 is RX? Kevin -Original Message- From: skipp025 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:18 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [SPAM] - [Repeater-Builder] Re

If you use (my preference) Bomar in NJ, simply tell them you have KXN-1086 and KXN-1088 mitrek elements. New rocks are $10 to $15 each if you do the change yourself. Big cost savings and fairly easy to do with normal electronic tools. The KXN-1095 is probably the higher spec base station

Good question, but it added an extra .12 desense when we put it in... It's a TP-3200. -Original Message- From: Jim B. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 2004 1:48 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR2000 PA out -

[Repeater-Builder] Re: MSR2000 & APRS

I can't think of anything that would prevent the MSR-2000 from working aprs. There are one or two speed-up mods that I use for MRS duplex (repeater) operation when trying to force fast data out the door (ie Passport, LTR and MPT trunking data). Just involves speeding up the keyed A+ and key

Hi Mark, Many Goverment Agencies received their MSR Service Manuals in binder form. Please find the manual numbers and try to order them direct or the obvious Ebay route. Worse or the preferred last case (for me), I could and would be willing photocopy the UHF Receiver tune up section, but
