Large Heat Shrink Tubing
Kevin K. Custer W3KKC
Hello All,
I recently received several requests from people on the list wanting to obtain the large heat shrink I use to seal the Comet and Diamond fiberglass antenna joints with. This stuff is great for sealing connectors, antenna joints, covering shovel and sledge hammer handles and covering tool handles like large Crescent wrenches. This shrink has an inert sealant that melts as the heat is applied for shrinking. This creates a good (won't leak if it was drug across the Atlantic) seal. Well maybe not that good......but damn good. It is available from Jerry Conn Associates Inc. They are located in Chambersburg Penna. The manufacturer is CANUSA. Pronounced canoosa. The available sizes (unshrunk of course) are indicated by the model number. Example: Part number; CFTV-400 is .4" (that's point 4 inches) CFTV-1100 is 1.1" diameter CFTV-1300 is 1.3" diameter CFTV-2050 is 2.05" diameter and so on These come in a 4 foot length. I believe the shrink percentage is 50% of original, This is not fact however. I don't remember the spec. on shrinkage off hand but it does shrink a lot. These are the available sizes: The ones with pricing are normally in stock. CFTV-400 CFTV-750 CFTV-1100 CFTV-1300 $5.16 CFTV-1700 $5.95 CFTV-2050 $11.41 CFTV-2750 These people have a $50.00 minimum order, so get together with a friend or two and place an order. They will sell directly to the public. The models listed without pricing are available through JCA, but are usually not stocked. If interested in purchasing, contact Tracy at Jerry Conn Associates. 1-(800) 233-7600 in PA 1-(800) 233-7370 out of PA 1-(717) 264-1547 Direct Line from anywhere. You can mention you talked with me, Kevin Custer form Masters Communications in Somerset PA, although it will not get you any better deal. The CFTV-750 is great for RG-8/PL-259's or Type N connectors. In our business, we use a propane torch to shrink the tubing. It's wall thickness is very good, and not easily damaged by a little excess heat. You can actually catch it on fire and not damage it badly. It doesn't shrink well in windy conditions, (requires lots of propane) In severe wind I use MAPP gas as it gets burns hotter than propane, although this is usually not necessary. I have used this stuff for years and can attest to its quality if installed properly. There are other cheaper brands of this stuff than CANUSA , but (in two words) they suck. There is no equivalent. I tried them all. Hope this helps, Kevin |

Alinco SR4D Repeater controller
S.Turner
<html>
<body> I am looking for anyone who has experience with the SR4D repeater controller. I am using one and I have been experiencing audio problems during the voice mail mode, and it also mutes the ID at times. I am currently using it on a 6 meter machine mitrex running split site. Has anyone ever used this type of controller? n2kej@... <br> <BR> <HR noshade width=90%> <pre>More than just email--Get your FREE Netscape WebMail account today at <a href=" target="top"></a></pre> </body> </html> |

writes: << ve no experience with that exciter. I use the TLD 8732A As far as the deviation goes, you should not have to change anything in the element because of deviation. If you are able to net the crystal on frequency, you should be able to get MORE deviation from the exciter now that it is on 220. Why? The crystal oscillator has been multiplied more times (18 instead of 12.) 417 cycles of deviation at the oscillator is necessary to make 5 kc. deviation at the output on high band (2 meters) the same oscillator deviation (417 cycles) should net 7.5 kc. deviationon 222 mc. You should have more than enough deviation on 222. Sounds to me like there is a problem with the buffer amp (Q404) or firsttripler (Q405.) Do you have the schematic, and trouble shooting procedure? It shouldstill apply. Does each stage tune at a precise peak? How about the tuning slugs,are they all the way into the sleeve or way out? Did you put any caps on the channel element to net it on frequency? If you did you may have taken away the ability to deviate the oscillator. If you cannot get this transmitter to work, I can send you a TLD 5382Astyle exciter and channel element. Kevin >> Kevin and the Group.. I had a problem with the crystals, doing two conversions here for 222mhz, thats why i could not get the proper deviation.. I stopped by the local crystal manufacter here in jersey, and looks like for the conversion the crystal needs to be cut with different specs.. (out of band specs)..and not the regular cut..they cut the crystals with commercial specs and it did not work properly.. So i have to way another few days for them to get me new crystals.. On some micor KXN??? elements the ones that have the varactor inside the element, theres a cap in series with the varactor, and changing the cap has the affect of increasing or decreasing the modulation sensitivity of the element, thats were i thought my problem was with the deviation.. I did more then ten conversions on micors to the ham bands and only a few i had to change this cap.......on the comp. tunning cap yes all of them i believe i went as high as 45pf and even on some taking this cap out.. Will see when i get the channel elements back maybe i will get more then the 50mw out of the exciter.. Will let you all know when i get it going .. Fred |

Re: GE phen.programable radios/info
Bill,
Tracy, K0DOE, here. I built a dual band remote using a Kenwood TW-4000A. Works great! I used the controller momentary outputs to 'strobe' (ground) the mic up/down switch for frequency change. The voice module installed in the radio outputs the frequency readback. Additional outputs from the controller could be used to adjust power, change to vfo, etc. Guess it depends on your controller what you will be able to do... Definitely helps to have frequency readback! I know of several remotes that have been built without it and they are always where their not supposed to be! 73 Tracy |

band, but I don't recall how. I probably had to edit the hex data. If you can't find anyone else who can do it, I'll research it more. It can be done. :) *** One word of warning: The oscillator becomes intermittent at low temperatures (<20-30). I don't recall how I got around that problem either, but I think it involved adding or removing a transistor. But when it works, it works very well. Joe, KR3P D.J.H. wrote:
