Re: Sinclair Q202GC Duplexers.
Thanks for all of the help.
I have stuff on order to make new cables with RG400. I have some N M-F connector to use as extenders to make sure they don't need to be a bit longer.

Re: Anyone here familiar with a Zetron model 42 controller?
Yeah, that was a common issue with early Zetron products that were designed prior to any real RS-232 standard existing for DE-9's.? If memory serves, they used pins 3 and 4 instead of 2 and 3 for data.? And I think pin 2 was either +5V or +12V for powering external equipment.? I forget what ground was...should be able to ohm it out to chassis if nothing else. ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? --- Jeff WN3A ? ?

Re: Avoid Bomar crystals (was) Re: [repeater-builder] Krystaly Rocks for MSR2000
At 2/22/2021 03:22 PM, you wrote: Hey Bob NO6B: if you want to suggest "removing Bomar from the crystal suppliers list" you need to contact the person listed at the top of that "suppliers" page. Clicking his name will bring you to a contact page.
It's likely that not every one of their customers has had a bad experience; so it might be doing a dis-service to those if the entry is removed. It's probably kinder to find reliable alternatives and add them to the list. That's a rather bad advert for a company: buy our product, & maybe you'll get lucky & get one that works. I'll hold off on making a recommendation until I get my Krystaly order. If they work out I think it really would be best to replace the Bomar listing. Bob NO6B

Re: COR Signal from HT1000 (or similar) for Remote Receiver
Tony, while this may not work for you, I want to mention something our club did to maintain temperature stability at a remote site subject to wild ambient temperature swings. We mounted the remote receiver and link transmitter in a homemade wooden box slightly larger than necessary to house the equipment. Both the receiver and transmitter were crystal controlled and not in heated ovens. Then we placed a small incandescent bulb inside the box. This kept the equipment at a fairly constant temperature once it reached equilibrium. I don't recall if the bulb was one of the larger Christmas tree types or an oven lamp but either way it was not many watts. This was back in the 1970s. The radios were Midland ham grade mobiles. It was an inexpensive solution that worked for years until we had the money to upgrade to commercial radios with TCXOs.
