I've gone as far as I can with this thing. I'm happy to pay
someone to fix this thing. I'm totally blind and although I can
check and align things with a service monitor, I can't replace
parts. When first turned on, it is fine. After it warms up for
a while, I get a noise in the receiver like the attached file.
It isn't the fan, and the transmitter is off, although it does
get louder when transmitter is turned on. This is listening to
the repeater speaker. I won't ship the whole wrack mount chasi,
I'll just ship the repeater itself. Feel free to write off list.

When I had it, before Butch bought it, it was on 451.1875 with
a
plus offset. And I did the program it for a 442.100 frequencies
so I hope that didn't unlock the PLL.

?Hi Butch,
I'm not familiar with the 851, but my first thought would be
is
this a repeater that was used? If so, did you first test it
on
its original frequency? If you moved it too for it may be a
PLL tuning problem.
I don't know if you have to retune the PLL on an 851 if you
move it a lot in frequency.

If it is doing that and a) the TX is off and b)
you're sure it's not your service monitor then
the only option left is the RX itself

I changed frequency to 442.100. But not sure about the
crackle. I
tried it here and didn't notice any noise on RX.
Give me a call later on tomorrow, since leaving soon.

The repeater has a noise on receive like bacon frying.
Not
sure
what is causing that. I can give you a call if you want
to
listen to it. kind of a crackling noise. I haven't
tried
adjusting anything yet, but sensativity is poor even on
the
151.1875 frequency.

That's good to know thanks. Hopefully my little laptop
comes
by
Wednesday because tentatively planning on going back to
the
site
in portage on Thursday to visit the lady Buggs, well OK
not
really, but putting up the Lincoln tenor for the
repeaters
and
figuring out what is going on with my DNC. I turned it on
and
it
gives me a little Gibberish character, but then I turn it
off
and
back on again and then it works. Might have to just flush
the
whole TNC and start over. Would like it just to power up
and
work
because if there's a power failure and that TNC comes
back
on
then it won't power up correctly and I'm 70+ miles away
from
the
site with no transportation.

might
have
just
answered it for me, but, does your Windows XP box work
with
the
KPG

See Chris's comments about the fuse.
BTW, the only reason to use the mic jack is if you're
updating
the
firmware (or don't want to otherwise with the rear
panel
DB25).
Good to hear you're good to go
