Re: COR Signal from HT1000 (or similar) for Remote Receiver
I have derived a COR from a handheld by placing the diode of an opto-isolator in series with the receive LED and using the transistor in the opto-isolator for the COR.? You can get a negative going

Re: MSF TX VCO issue
That's great news. Glad you persisted. Not one to be picky (who, me?) but the article does mention cleaning the solder pads and all leaked residue after the old caps have been removed, as well as

Re: MSF TX VCO issue
Good evening Bob & anyone else following- Well, not one to give up (or perhaps not smart enough too), I printed off all the schematics I could find and literally taped them together to make larger

Re: The passing of an icon
Rest In Peace Ted... what a gentleman. One of the first people I met on RB to help me offline with projects and sourcing hard to find stuff nearly a decade ago. You will be missed.

Re: The passing of an icon
I had a chance to visit "Lefty's Lair" a while back while he was in the process of moving south. He was definitely a purveyor of the obscure and sometimes downright odd items. He was certainly an

Re: True FM
Confusing matters are FM radio manufacturers which advertise "variable reactance modulation". That is clear as mud. A variable reactance such as a varactor in a VCO tank circuit or across a crystal

Nice guy, I first met him in around 1973 from Spectronics days. Ted showed me an unusual use for his dishwasher. Cleaning crusty old Motrac control heads! -- The Real RFI-EMI-GUY

Re: The passing of an icon
Very sad news indeed.. I bought 6 UHF 20W GE MVPs from Ted about 22 years ago, later some Redicom UHFs and a Redicom book, and other odds & ends over the years. When the 6 MVPs arrived there was a 7th

Re: COR Signal from HT1000 (or similar) for Remote Receiver
I did something similar with an MX300 years ago. Like Andy said, these radios usually have a Bridge Tied Load speaker output. They float at about 1/2 VCC when the radio unmutes and so that point can

Re: True FM
Circuit-wise, in an FM transmitter you are modulating an oscillator and are directly changing its _frequency_. In a PM transmitter you do not modulate the oscillator -- it outputs a constant

Re: True FM
Hi Don, *>So what is True FM? Vs.? Whatever FM * "True FM" is a silly term, in my opinion. It's used by folks who want to strongly distinguish FM from PM. Why they can't simply use "FM" or "PM" to

Re: True FM
True FM is achieved by actually modulating the carrier's FREQUENCY. 'UnTrue FM' is usually achieved by modulating the PHASE of a fixed carrier and properly shaping the audio frequency response of the
