Re: Looking for a good working repeater controller that has a link port
I am familiar with that controller. I have two of those. Was trying to find something used that would be quite as much money but decided to pull the trigger on a new one from Ken. So guess I'm not looking for anything at the moment. Chad Nelson WI9HF/WRPL979 Janesville Wisconsin 608-754-8671 Send from my spectrum iPhone 16.

? Hi Chad,
Regarding your request for a repeater controller with link ports, the Arcom RC210 is user-friendly and meets your requirements. There might be one for sale within the group.
For future expansion and ROIP integration, consider Allstarlink.

Re: Yaesu & the crossband limitations?
Before you get too far into this, you may want to look at the FCC Regulations related to identification, and more importantly, remote control.

----- Original Message ----- From: "N4FOX via groups.io" To: [email protected]Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2025 10:52:35 AM Subject: [repeater-builder] Yaesu & the crossband limitations? I was thinking of experimenting with a remote receiver for the DR-2X repeater. Initially I thought using a Yaesu mobile that crossbands for it would be good. I decided to try bench testing this concept with a ftm-500 I use as a mobile.
It seems doable but with limitations. The AMS works for the receiver
side of things fine. It's when it's transmitting what the receiver hears is a bit problematic. It only transmits in analog. Doesn't matter if it's a vfo or memory channel that's presetup to be digital. It spits it out in analog only. I can configure the DR-2X to spit it back out as digital only. Then you will lose other data like the users callsigns for example. Because that's all lost when things are transferred over via the analog link.
Is there a fix or mod for that anyone is aware of? Looks like the
only solution for now would be have another DR-2X as the remote receiver. That's a bit ridiculous cost wise.
If the repeater was analog only that wouldn't be a problem, but it's
run in AMS & uses Wires-X & YSF reflector bridge all digital.

JSR RM3500 automatic modulation meter manual

Does anyone have the manual for the JSR RM3500 automatic modulation meter?
Thank you.

I have quite a few amps that were decommissioned recently and need a new home. These have a built in power supply so they are kind of a cool self contained unit. All have been tested and work well. These are tuned for 460MHz but I tested them at 445MHz. If you go
through the effort or re-tuning them you will get slightly better output and lower current consumption. Typical output as follows. 10W In = 110W Out, 7W In = 95W Out, 5W In = 70W Out. Price including shipping to lower 48 is $450. Oh yes, the only thing that doesn't work is the Neon bulb indicating the unit is on. God knows why they used that versus an LED.

Re: Vertex VXR-7000 power cycling after transmit
It always restarts immediately after it unkeys. It¡¯s fine when it is key-down. Just after it unkeys. This has just started happening within the last few weeks. I may try hooking it up to the Astron and seeing what happens.?
Thanks,

Does the repeater power cycle immediately or only after the transmitter unkeys? Stray RF getting in to the microprocessor is a thought - try running the TX port to a 50 ohm load and see if the condition persists (if you haven't already). The above tests should push you in the right direction.?

Re: Kenwood TK790 problems
Agreed. Had the same issue before.
Dab a little dielectric grease on all pins to help keep clean and prevent oxidation.
Benjamin, KB9LFZ?
Reseat the control cables, they can get dirty and cause issues. Remember they¡¯ve used these radios in fire trucks and Baja racers along with other trucks that have dirt and grime, they work until moved, I¡¯d reseat the connectors especially in the control head where the cable has a white multi wire plug and the cap goes over to protect the inside.

? Hey guys have a couple of Kenwood TK790's with the same problems. 1 is installed in a truck for several years , and the truck is driven by 1 foreman who is a trusted and valued foreman. The other was pulled froma truck we decommissioned. The removal was done by our company owner who is a fellow ham and has done several of the installs himself over the years.
?
The problem is that there is no transmit audio. Both radios are remote mount, and the mics have been tested on known good radios and are working fine. I was told that the control heads have been swapped and the problem persists.?? I Have not as of yet done any testing on the radio that is installed, as the guy whose truck it is in wasnt available today.

Does anyone have any ideas...... I personally am leaning toward a bad interconnect cable, but as these radio are a bit older I am trying NOT to just be a "parts changer" and buy new remote cables on a guess.

Looking for RLN5933 in-dash bracket
I am looking for several RLN5933 in-dash brackets for the XPR4000 series radios to finish off a project.
This is a bracket that fits into a single DIN dash opening in a standard vehicle.
Apparently Motorola has discontinued this item.
I am aware of other methods of accomplishing the same result.
If you have any available, please reply directly to mengle@...
Thanks

Re: DB-224-E antenna sources?
The Commander Technologies 220-N was mentioned.? Even though it shows a wide bandwidth, if you go that route be sure you order it for your specific transmit operating frequency.
