Jim,
?
You might know off the top of your head, in reference to the F6001 (1 amp ) fuse. If you were to pull this fuse from the circuit, #1 it should "disconnect" the internal battery charger circuit output and #2 will it have any effect operational wise on the repeater??
?
As many of us know don't let the repeater charge LifePo4 batteries, my thought was and I can not find anything anywhere really on this, use an external charger on a 120VAC coil for on/off states, with this fuse removed, it should eliminate the internal charger and I do not see any reason it would have any negative performance results to the repeater itself.?
?
?
Next Question on this line, has anyone heard of anyone complaining about RFI/EMI noise issues (transmitted over the air like a hum or whine) charging the battery with an external charger, during repeater normal VAC operations? I know HF world some power supplies can cause a whine/squeal/hum to be transmitted.
?
This will be our first (two of them) Yaesu repeaters, and just trying to get some facts to get them ready to go on the air soon.
?
Thanks
