NEED RECOMMENDATION ON UHF n VHF RECEIVE PRE-AMPS
Hi All,
I am looking for recommendations for a UHF and VHF Receive Pre-Amp. If you have any good, or bad, experiences, please share them with me. Also, if you have any phone numbers or Web addresses, they would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanx Mike |
Re: RC850 eprom programming
Dave Karr
Ken,
Don't know about that specific programmer, but many low cost (and even some not so low cost) programmers don't know about differences in manufactuer specific programming algorythms. If your programmer doesn't differentiate between manufacturers, or know about device ID's, that might be an indication that it is unaware of minor differences in each device. I'll extend an offer to you, or anyone who needs this kind of service for repeater related activities, to program devices for you if you cover the cost of shipping. Data I/O is in the top tier or device programmers and works closely with the device manufactures, but the price tag reflects it. ;-( I can also handle EEPROM's (such as those commonly used to control frequency assigments in commercial radios) and most any other programmable devices made. Interested parties should contact me directly. 73, --Dave / KA9FUR * REPLY SEPARATOR * On 5/29/99 at 8:50 PM Ken Califf wrote: From: Ken Califf <crkside@...> --Dave |
Looking for UHF micor Base/Repeater service manual
Hi All,
I am looking to purchase a manual, or copy of a service manual for a UHF Micor base/repeater station. The unit currently contains the low power, 50 watt pa. I don't have the model number here, but can provide it if need be. I am also looking to see if any one knows where I can get discriminator audio from the receiver. I prefer to get it at the card cage, but am not picky, I would take it from any where. If you have the service manual, or have the answer to my other problem, please E-mail me at HQ54@.... |
RC850 eprom programming
Ken Califf
I am trying to program a set of EPROM's for the ACC RC850 controller. I
have downloaded the data from Link and I also have read in from an Original set of version 3.8 EPROM's from a working controller. When I program the 4 EPROM's, U8, U16, and U17 program and work perfectly, but I have not been able to get U15 to program right. When my programmer is verifying the data in the eprom to the data in the buffer, it detects errors and the chip will not work correctly in the controller. I am using a Rommax from EE Tools that has worked perfectly so far on all other chips I have burned and I have tried several different 27C011 EPROM's with the same results. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. |

It's working. I've got a question. What do you do with master 2 on 39.5
meg. this is a tripler pa instead of going to 6mtrs. what about going down to 10 mtrs. Just a question to ponder. I enjoy reading list every night. Keep up the good work Kevin really do enjoy it.73's all Paul n5zdg At 10:48 AM 5/27/99 -0400, you wrote: From: "BILL H." <ynzbill@...>Week! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
ANYONE HAVE TUNE UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR TXRX DUPLEXER
Hi All,
I baught a TXRX duplexer at Dayton this year, and I would like to tune theunit up. I have seen all the tuneup info on the net, however, the TXRX has some sort of adjustment on the top, something about rotating some sort of disc on the top of the can. I am sure if you have a TXRX duplexer, or are familiar with the tune up instructions, you will know what I am talking about. If you could help me out in any way, I would certainly appreciate it. Thanx Mike |

Aside from this, or duplexing it and vibrating the antenna (to make the cracklies appear), the only way would be to take the antenna apart and inspect it. We have repaired ours for about 20 years, the stacked hardline sections crack where the center conductor is soldered to the outter jacket. We wrap the area with braid like solder wick to provide more mechincal strength. If it's 10 years old or more, I would be suspicious. Also, the antenna that was described may be a 220Mhz antenna.

I saw this response and was wondering how one could check whether aI have a Wiltron SiteMaters frequency domain reflectometer. What I would do is connect it up and shake the antenna, or sway it back and forth to see if the return loss varies with vibration. Kind of unscientific, but may work.

If it's 10 years old or more, I would be suspicious. Also, the antenna that was described may be a 220Mhz antenna. One ham here in Connecticut had an antenna made using the 2 meter radome. He had extra elements added to fill up the space in the 2 meter radome. Ended up with more gain. Joe, K1ike |
Re: How can one check to see if an antenna will duplex correctly

wondering how one could check whether aInstall it on a temporary pole (a few feet off the ground) and hook your repeater to it. While receiving a weak signal "bump" the antenna and notice if you hear a static or noisy "popping" on the signal.(You MUST be duplexing ) If you do , then there's a good possibility the soldered joints on the elements are broken loose or maybe even melted ! You will be wasting your time to put it up as is. You might be able to repair the thing by disassembling and reflowing the joints. It thakes some time and a good hot iron ( a small torch works too). A local ham club had this situation twice to happen. They chased all sorts of problems , finally they went over the rptr custodians head and pulled the antenna down and put up a temporary antenna. The noise stopped. They asked for an opinion and I told them since the antenna was less than a year old send it back. They did and got a credit for another antenna. This time around they bought a folded dipole antenna( DB224). It operates in the worst of thunderstorms now without so much static and precip noise. I have an old station master that was given to me by another club that experienced the same described noise....a slight breeze could blow and all sorts of noise would cover up weak signals. I use it for receive only at my shack..I use a DB228 for my 2 meter repeater. I will tell you (my opinion) that the fiberglass radomed antennas (diamond,comet,hustler,cellwave,db)are noisy as far as precip is concerned ...more so than the folded dipole arrays. And no contest as far as lightning is concerned ! My 228 has sustained two hits in one month with no apparent damage to the antennas or 7/8 heliax. I dont think too many sticks can claim that! So if you got it for free ...you got nothing to lose. If you are taking up donations for an antenna...buy a folded dipole (not the cuss craft or maxrad cheapies with the open dipoles and rg59). Good luck Ed |
Re: need info on antenna

PD-220,yeah, maybe if the goverment was buying it. Otherwise somewhere around 600 bucks or so new...in the box. Better check it out and make sure it isnt broken inside before you put it up , only to find it is noisy when duplexing. Ed |

try resetting the microprocessor:
press and hold MR while turning on power or press and hold VFO/M and M.IN and turn on power. ---------- From: K6TAM@...our local repeater for a remote. The former owner forgot to tell me that it program, it just refuses to transmit above that freq. |

If that antenna is a model PD-220, it is a 2M not a 220 unit and if it works(checks out on a SWR meter on 2M) you have an antenna worth close to a grand. Use it in good health. vy 73 - Bob - W3TGG Chris W4YYZ wrote: From: "Chris W4YYZ" <ham_it_up@...> |
