Re: DB-420 bottom half 470-490 MHz cut antenna project.
Hey Jeff, Maybe a step by step on repeater-builder should be written on converting both halves of a DB-420 to (2) DB-408's (with pictures). Sometimes a 408 is just better for the particular situation

Re: DB-420 bottom half 470-490 MHz cut antenna project.
Now that I think about it, and assuming my memory and visualization of the DB420 harness isn't failing me, if you cut that half-antenna feeder cable off as I described, then took the harness off and

Re: DB-420 bottom half 470-490 MHz cut antenna project.
In my testing the load was indeed going to be taking half the power. After all that is what the harness is supposed to do, divide power for both 8-bay halves to work properly. The purpose of using a

Joe, It is the bottom half of the antenna less mast, so yeah it has the harness and a female "N" connector for the top half to connect to. It includes the bottom half loops and clamps with stainless

Re: Scom 7330 repeater controller software
I distinctly remember there was some difference between the two repeaters as to pinout. Like I said though, maybe they were close enough that it doesn't matter for ham applications. Oh well...

Re: Scom 7330 repeater controller software
This is not correct. Both the TKR 850 and NXR 1800 (and 1700 for that matter) have the exact same pinout for both RX & TX audio (RA/RD/TA/TD), as well as externa PTT in. COR & TOR are programmable as

Re: Scom 7330 repeater controller software
First, the two controllers have different pinouts from each other. Next, the TKR 850 and the NXR 1800 use different pinouts from each other as well, although they are close, maybe close enough. But in

Thanks Dave. I appreciate all the information. I'll take a look at it. And do you know or does anyone know if the Arcom RC 210 uses the same pin programming for the back of the Kenwood TKR 850 and NXR

Re: DB-420 bottom half 470-490 MHz cut antenna project.
Is it the bottom half that has the splitter and jumper to the top section? If so how do you deal with that when using the bottom as a stand alone antenna?

Re: DB-420 bottom half 470-490 MHz cut antenna project.
I may be interested but I am not sure what you are sending? The top half or the bottom half of the 420, and with the mast or just the harness and loops? Please let me know. Joe [email protected]>
