Re: Decibel DB4060 Series Duplexers
Going thru my old notes, the 3.25 dimension corresponds to a loop part number -004.? ? ?The 3.50 dimension is a -005 loop.
?
-004 loops are standard for typical public safety band duplexers (nominally 155Mhz).
?
According to the article in repeaterbuilders, for the ham band, the high pass cans (notch low) should have a -005 loop and the low pass cans (notch high) should have a -004 loop. NOTE, the loops affect where the tuning CAP is adjusted to create the notch. From my experience, they don't significantly affect the band pass adjustment.
?
I've easily tuned cans from the public safety bands (all loops -004) without any problems. I guess it's possible changing one set of cans from -004 to -005 (make 1/4 in longer) could change the notch shape slightly BUT, those caps are VERY sensitive to soldering and I don't think the risk is worth changing the loop length without first trying using the public safety cans (with -004 loops).

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.

NXR-1800 ext MMDVM interface
Has anyone successfully interfaced an external MMDVM board to the RS-232 accessory connector on the Kenwood NXR repeater? I know the pinouts between the TKR-850/1 and the NXR appear identical in terms of what's required to tie to a MMDVM (the RB board for e.g), however I'm wondering if the NXR may be prone to audio phase distortion should it use a DSP based discriminator similar to a Quantar or XPR etc.
Anyone using one of these on DMR or P25 that can confirm it does or does not work with the external digital modem?
Regards

Re: Swap: Ics controllers quantar 1x for a northcomm quantar ecm.
The channel steering I'm not worried about. The quantar will only have a ch1. I just need remote disable and courtesy beep functions.
One thing to consider is if there is a power failure the Northcomm controller will revert to channel 1. You could put a small 5V backup battery on the Northcomm controller if power outages are a problem. Maybe use a 6V gel cell with a couple of diodes in series to drop the voltage to 5V and isolate it from the Quantar 5V bus.?

Re: Swap: Ics controllers quantar 1x for a northcomm quantar ecm.
21 pages of wildcard settings but Northcomm supplies detailed instructions. Or I could probably send you a code plug from one of my Quantars with all the wildcards. Two adjustments to make, DTMF decode and courtesy beep level. If you program multiple channels you can then remotely dial up different channels with different power levels or PL tones or anything that can be programmed onto a different channel.?

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

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

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.
|
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.
?

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

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

Hi,
I own a MTR2000 UHF Low Band High Power.
Apparently there is a way to get this low band within the ham band (430-440).
I once saw a description on the repeater-builder website but can't find anything about it anymore.
Is there anyone who can help me on my way?
?
Thanks in advance,

Anyone has done it and if so maybe he could share the file of this repeater or

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.

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).
