Re: Stationmaster type antenna available, 152 MHz., Nashville, TN
Been there, done that and every inch of the antenna is in perfect condition and I shared that with Commander Technologies who now makes this antenna and told me 427MHz is about right for 6 degrees of

Yes I am getting the 44.645 signal.

Re: Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio
Another way you can tell is if you have a communications receiver or a service monitor. Tune to 44.645 Mhz and you will hear a carrier emitting from the radios (shields off). It may be a little

Re: Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio
So .... Do you get that good audio from the speaker from weak signals? Can .5 uV signals with audio result in audio from the speaker? If so, your XTAL is good. Andy [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio
I may need to be a little more clear¡­.:I still get RX audio from the speaker just none from the pin on the rear. All I get from the pin on the rear is dead audio with pl(otherwise the pl encoder

Re: Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio
I should have been more specific. I don¡¯t get the COS signal from the radio. I get the COS from the masters SC-50 micor squelch pl board¡­ I will get some crystals ordered! Thank you

Re: Kenwood TKR-820 UHF
Taking these suggestion in and it should keep me busy for a few months.... external power supply (have), fix PS/caps, power switch clean and test... THANKS to all!

Had a grain silo place where we had some equipment complain about "our" antennas laying in the corner of the roof. Well, not our antennas, they were left over paging customers. But, we decided to

R266A -Spectrum analyzer ghosts (internal signals)
Hello members, I have an old R2660A (IDEN option) that I replaced all the 33uf electrolytics caps on Interface board ( each one had leaked). Luckily no major damage that didn't clean up. This fixed

Re: Stationmaster type antenna available, 152 MHz., Nashville, TN
Electrical downtilt is created when the phase of higher elements *leads* the lower elements. An easy way to visualize this is to take a multi-element antenna (a dipole array or whatever is easy to

Re: Stationmaster type antenna available, 152 MHz., Nashville, TN
I might add that I carefully tested my SuperStationmaster downtilt by placing it on a 10ft mast and monitored signal level on a spectrum analyzer while tilting it back and forth towards a hilltop

Re: Recording repeater audio
I use a registered version or Recall, and have been doing that since 1996 (and still have all the audio files, so almost 30 years now). I don't save to the cloud though, but easily could serve them

Re: Stationmaster type antenna available, 152 MHz., Nashville, TN
I think the engineer said it backwards and is wrong, because to make electrical down-tilt, you cut each collinear element shorter (a higher frequency), to obtain down-tilt.? For an example see this

Re: Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio
Except he said the COS is still active and working fine. That would indicate at a distance the radio still works. But I agree, if he misstated, that's the most likely suspect. It's better to get

Re: Kenwood TKR-820 UHF
I believe many people, myself included, merely jumper across the power switch when it goes bad. It's a repeater so it's always on anyway...
