Re: Advice
<snipped for brevity>
Kevin, Thanks for all the info. The Mastr Pro's are mobiles. I really don't see me using those for the repeater. As I said, I think my best bet as things stand right now is to use the Mocom's. As for a controller, I'm looking at the NHRC mainly due to price, at least to start. Not sure If I'll tackle the kit form or the assembled/tested (most likely the latter) but I'm almost certain I'll go with one of these. Thanks for the antenna suggestions. I'm going to try to go with seperate antennas to avoid the $$$ of duplexers, but this will depend a lot on the antenna structure. For example, if I have to go with a water tower, I'll need to use a single antenna. But if I have vertical tower space, I'll be able to go with two antennas. One question though: what are your thoughts on the number of cavities in the duplexer? For example, a 6-cavity vs. a 3-cavity? I know the 6 will cost more and provide more isolation, but at what point would I need to decide which one? Again, thanks! 73, Jeff, W9SAR |

Tracy,
I am replying directly and also reflecting the message on the new list. If anyone wants to reply to Tracy, please send plain text directly to his email address as I am uncertain of his email receiving ability. Also, please CC the list so others can see your reply. To bring the rest of you up to date, here is the original mailing from him, and then my reply. Kevin,This next part I just received and I am replying to him and the list. My reply is threaded below. Acsdsupt@... wrote: The model # is scratched out from moving it. It does have a big 50 conductorYou have a "non-unified" chassis. I got the receiver to tune up however, not quite to the sensitivity that I amI have a different solution to this problem. My solution does not compromise the front end selectivity like when using longer tuning screws. Go to and for explanation of this solution. Also the coils are now on sale from me if you choose to purchase them. The exciter tuned up too. Although I had to dive into the schematics for a whileA simple 50 uA meter works fine. Seems to work. But I can't get the crystal tune on frequency. It's high! TheYour exciter must use elements with 4 pins, Correct? The 3 pin model (with K 1007A element) is standard and does not have a modulator in it. This model utilizes phase modulation. The 4 pin model (with KXN 1019 element) was originally designed to transmit DPL (digital private line) and was a true fm exciter. I don't know why the cap across the varactor did not work. Lastly, this thing was configured as a remote base for a business. It has aYea, lots of ideas.... Are you going to use an outboard controller with this station? If so refer to for information. If not, refer to and ignore the rest. On the first conversion, since your station is a NON UNI chassis, some things are going to need to be translated. Read the information and try to understand the CONCEPT, don't try to convert yours using the information. Basically to keep the receiver from muting and to eliminate the need for the line driver card. Pull the line driver card out. Then, on the Remote Control Chassis, (the chassis where the cards go in) jump pin 15 to 39 (where the 50 pin ribbon is attached). This allows the preamp audio from the receiver audio and squelch board to be fed into the volume control to provide amplified receiver audio to drive a local speaker with no muting action. My personal notes also show modification to the Audio & Squelch board. My notes show to cut off the trace leading to IC 202 pin 14. Also cut trace leading from the intersection of IC 202 pin 13 and C235 (a .22 uF) and the long pins leading to the outside world. If anything is allowed to input to pin 13 on the A&S board (except for having the .22 uF cap connected) will totally mess up the action of this board. Bottom line is to eliminate as many of the cards as possible. I do not care for the way the Squelch Gate card manages the squelch action, or anything else it does (I eliminate it because I use external controllers) . This concept is outlined in the Station Modification listed above. If you have trouble cross referencing the modification to the non uni chassis email again and I will take the time to do it. Hope this helps, Kevin |

Advice
Greetings to the list,
I am just beginning to embark on a 2-meter repeater-building project, and could use some advice. I need to keep out-of-pocket expenses minimal, and use as much of what components I have on hand as possible. I have several Mocom 70's, which I've been told are easy to tune but you have to use two to make a repeater. I've found someone who has a manual, so I'll have that within a week or two. I also have two GE Master Pro's that I've also been told can be made into repeaters without much trouble. As it stands right now, my options are leaning toward using two Mocom 70's with a basic controller. Bells and whistles can come later -- most important thing is to get the thing built and hopefully on the air when the weather warms up enough to do the antenna work -- which is another thing: I need to find a site for the repeater. Any suggestions will be appreciated; thanks in advance. 73, Jeff, W9SAR |

I know what you are going through. I also need to re-arrange my site. It is in need of some serious organization. I just have not made the time available yet. Take care and talk to you later.

222MHZ Micor repeater
Hello All..
Did anybody ever modify a vhf 160mhz micor base station for 220mhz??? the exciter is a true fm and not phase modulation.. I just did one and i used the mods for a mobile and i only get around 50MW out of the exciter on a bird meter, before the mod i was getting 600MW.. The mobile exciter i believe its a little different, has some different components in the rf section not just in the phase modulation circuit.. Any body has mods for the vhf base/repeater exciter???? Thanks Fred |

FS: Digital Audio Delay Modules
Kevin K. Custer W3KKC
Hi Guys,
We overbuilt DADMs and I have a couple hundred in stock that I'd like to clear out. If anyone has a commercial or amateur use for them, AND needs a large quantity (let's say 10 or more), contact me about pricing. For fewer than ten, they'll still be $50 each - - which still ain't a bad deal. Thanks! Bob Schmid, WA9FBO S-COM Industries 970-663-6000 voice 970-669-1585 fax scomind@... |
