Re: Clamp meter mistake -- watch for a balanced meter movement if analog
Way before everything became digital (because, as we've been brainwashed, digital is better), Amprobe was the leader in clamp-on ammeters. These all used analog D'Arsonval meter movements. Hopefully

Re: TPRD-1554 Troubleshooting
I worked on a TPRD-4544 many years ago that was not tuning properly. I had a feeling the coax used to form the coupling loop was somehow defective. I ended up buying two new coupling loop assemblies

Tuning procedure for Mobile Duplexer TFE6030A
I picked up a UHF mobile duplexer at a hamfest several years ago and now have a project I'd like to use it with. When I go to tune it though I find that it has some slugs that I don't know the purpose

Re: TPRD-1554 Troubleshooting
Jeff, Thanks for you comments and especially for the cable lengths. There was no evidence of arcing on the capacitor's body so I don't think it was damaged by a lightening strike. Do you have any idea

Re: Clamp meter mistake -- watch for a balanced meter movement if analog
Thanks, Mike for the clarification. I have not seen clamp meters with the mechanical movement; all the ones I've seen have a digi screen. But the former is good to watch for dips and spikes :)? Good

Peter, Be careful on those old radios you mentioned. While I built many "IC-20" repeaters in the '70s that was when we had 30 KHz spacing between slots and they worked well. Presently, that won't work

Re: Motorola XPR8300 repeater, no USB comms
Also to look at, is replacing the front display board (with the front panel LEDS) which affects both the USB and LAN connectivity. I've had to replace a number of these in the past on different

Re: ID-O-Matic IV Controller setup with Kenwood TKR-850
I'm presently working on a TKR-750 now on the bench. That is the VHF cousin of the TKR-850. In the KPG-91D software you want to go to EDIT> FUNCTION PORT and select the AUX tab. I used the "AUX In/Out

Re: ID-O-Matic IV Controller setup with Kenwood TKR-850
Piotr, I would suggest that you use the TOR signal for your COS input to the controller.? It is a combination of COR and CTCSS, so you get the benefit of a slight delay (settable in the radio code

I ahve an IC20 and a few IC22As. Looking at the spectral output of the IC22, it is very clean. I was impressed enough to keep a few for our club's repeaters. It also has helicals ahead of the rcvr.
