Re: Be on the lookout

 

Are they solely wireless with no hard wiring? And they're battery powered I assume?

Hey Johnny, that's a good idea! You just gave me a really good idea for my repeater site that I'm gonna start to be using shortly. Should maybe find tiny surveillance camera and connect it up so I have monitoring capability visually. Just need to figure out how to get it to transmit over the Internet to my location 60 miles away.

Swap: Ics controllers quantar 1x for a northcomm quantar ecm.

 

Looking to swap a brand new ics control quantar 1x for the northcomm quantar ecm and program cable.

I'm looking for a more simple plug and play solution than something I need to jump through all sorts of gyration to get up and?running.

And I don't need all the capabilities of the ics I just need remote disable, and courtesy beep.

So the northcomm might be better for me and the ics might be suited to someone who has more patience than i do to set it up properly and needs the advanced functionality of the ics.

I'm only using this on a gmrs repeater so I don't need a bunch of advanced features or digital linking.

My understanding is the northcomm is just set wildcards in quantar and then 1 adjustment on the board that requires no test gear to set it up.

Suffice to say I can't get courtesy beep or remote disable to function on my quantar with the ics and the ics is brand new. I got voice id'er to work fine so I'm sure it's a setting on the ics board. I'm just out of patience to screw with it.

I want an overall plug and play unit. I will also sell the ics outright for what i paid for it in leu of a swap.

Let me be clear it's not ics fault it's l something I'm not doing correctly and I don't have the eyesight or dexterity in my hands anymore to work with small stuff like this board.

Thanks

Re: MTR2000 UHF Low Band

Manu - ON7FQ
 

apparently if you put something on the internet it stays on the internet ;-)
I found this we are going to try it soon:
?
?
The 403-435 MHz station is limited by RSS, but apparently the exciter and power amplifier will operateover a larger range. The range values are all stored as 8-byte double-precision values, easily found andchanged using most hex editors.

A Belgian amateur operator needed his station to work up to 440 MHz, the upper range for his country. Hecontacted me and inquired. I gave him a list of addresses to change. Here's the procedure.
Make a backup copy of MPS.EXE in the MTR2000 folder. Better to have it and not need it than to need itand not have it.

Open the MPS.EXE file. Set your hex editor for "Little Endian / Intel Byte Order".
?
Search for the 64-bit (8-byte) value 435.000; you should find three locations. The 8-byte value will be:
00 00 00 00 00 30 7B 40
Change all three locations to 440.000 MHz. The 8-byte value will be:
00 00 00 00 00 80 7B 40
It's possible that this change will also raise the lower limit of the 435-470 station up to 440-470, but it got thejob done for the person who requested it.
You should also change the ASCII text that describes the frequency range of the station, PA, and RSS. In the same file, search for the text "435"; you should find four such strings that will say:
403-435_MHz_100W_1_Circ
435-470_MHz_100W_1_Circ
403 - 435 MHz 100W 1 Circ
435 - 470 MHz 100W 1 Circ
Two of those strings are for the 435-470 MHz station. DON'T CHANGE THOSE. Just change the "435" to"440" in the two 403-435 strings, where "435" is the upper range limit. Save the file and you're good to go.

I don't have a 403-435 MHz station to try this on but the amateur who requested this made the mods andreported that the station worked fine. You should go through the transmitter alignment and check the station'sperformance around 439.9 MHz.
?
It appears that 440 MHz is about as high as you can go with the typical station. Of course, your mileage mayvary.


Re: MTR2000 UHF Low Band

Manu - ON7FQ
 

To be correct, its a 403 - 435 version.
Here in Belgium the ham freq is 430 - 440 .
Apparently there is a procedure to modify the .EXE of the programming software in a HEX editor so that you can get it within our ham freq.
?

Re: MTR2000 UHF Low Band

Manu - ON7FQ
 

No, i can not go higher than 430 (eu version).

Re: MTR2000 UHF Low Band

 

Low band? 420 to 470? You just program it using RSS.? No issues
I have 2 such on 440 ham

Re: Manual CDM Low-Band

 

I forgot to say that the 6881091C63 Detailed Service Manual covers low band, high band and UHF...
everything but the narrowband-only "200" and "700" MHz CDMs.?? They have their own manual.

Re: Manual CDM Low-Band

 

The repeater-builder web site has BOTH the B and C versions of the 6881091C63 Detailed Service Manual
for free download.?? Look here: ?
?
The version C manual is 30.1 MB.? The "B" version is 16.9 MB.??
As big as hard drives are today why not grab both?

Many pages at the web site have multiple revisions of the same manual.?? We started doing that on
the GE LBI pages as GE had a bad habit of trimming good information from the older manuals to
reduce page count (and printing costs).

Re: Manual CDM Low-Band

 

But I am looking for the Service manual and I can only find the manual for
VHF and UHF.

Manual 6881091C63-B, Chapter 7, available on the web site.

And I have some question on the output power specs of this radio
All lowband CDM's are rated for 60 watts.

  • I noted the longest leg of the loop is about 3.25" from the solder to first bend.? Does any of this help with identification?

_._,_._,_

Well, maybe can read what¡¯s written better than I can by looking the pic.? The loops should have a part number of 048467, with a suffix of -001 through -005.? If you can make out those designators on the loops you have, send me an inventory of what you have via direct email and we can go from there.?

?

If the straight leg of the loop (i.e. the side connected to the center pin of the connector) is 3-1/2¡± as you reported, that¡¯s a -005 which is a keeper ¨C that loop is used on the high-pass side of a ham-band ¡°B¡± split duplexer.?

?

BUT, based on what I can see in the pic, it looks like it is marked -004, which would be 3-1/4¡± on the long leg.? So, either your measurement is off a bit (i.e. 3-1/2¡± vs 3-1/4¡±), or my eyesight is failing me and it¡¯s not a -004.

Re: Manual CDM Low-Band

 

Hello,
My previous email was in error! The VHF CDM-1250 is rated for 45W.
The low band 1250 probably higher wattage. Did you look on the web for the model # of radio. Usually specs are listed

The radio does work and turn on by the ignition accessories plug pin but I have some problem with the control head.

No ON-Off button function, no Lights for the display, no RX-TX light, no Lightening of the DTMF Mike.
