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.

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

See, I told you lol. Glad it works. I had the incorrect model type when I tried to program it here, but just hit enter it went anyway with the serial cable.

That was one of my questions I actually had and you might have just answered it for me, but, does your Windows XP box work with the KPG 91D software?

Andrew did discontinue making the LDF-5-50

They (Commscope for a time) replaced it with AVA-5 cable which is not compatible with the older connectors.

despite any announcements of the Andrew company still operating, they discontinued the hollow copper tube for the center conductor and switched to copper clad aluminum with a compression fit pin that some techs can't get right so installations had to be reworked. At least that's what I'm hearing.??

Re: trying to read data on a kenwood 851 repeater

 

If the RJ mic jack has been shorted there is a 0ohm resistor that acts as a fuse...if it's blown, the program cable won't work..you can always use the DB25

trying to read data on a kenwood 851 repeater

 

I thought my software for my 850 would work, but it says check
radio model, retry. Does it take a different program?
Thanks.

Re: Heliax

 

Andrew did discontinue making the LDF-5-50
They (Commscope for a time) replaced it with AVA-5 cable which is not compatible with the older connectors.
despite any announcements of the Andrew company still operating, they discontinued the hollow copper tube for the center conductor and switched to copper clad aluminum with a compression fit pin that some techs can't get right so installations had to be reworked. At least that's what I'm hearing.??
