Re: TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
Chad, The easiest solution by far is an external power attenuator between the TPL amplifier and your transmitter to reduce power. This is a bolt on, or rather thread-on option that works

Re: DR-2X Failure to Switch to DC
Yes Mike pulled me head out of my rear end with his answer. The 120VAC coil would go between battery output and the repeater (either plug or hard wire config on your repeater), all it is doing is not

Re: DR-2X Failure to Switch to DC
Does the repeater still work on AC supply? I ask because there's another failure condition which requires power cycling the RX and TX chassis's with a external FTM-400 control head. I had one on the

Re: DR-2X Failure to Switch to DC
See post 211955, if you break the DC lines with a high current 120VAC relay then you don’t have to remove any fuse or worry about the charger inducing noise. The battery will charge when AC is

Re: DR-2X Failure to Switch to DC
Jim, You might know off the top of your head, in reference to the F6001 (1 amp ) fuse. If you were to pull this fuse from the circuit, #1 it should "disconnect" the internal battery charger circuit

Re: TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
Chad, From what I see in the manual, it says 1-6 watts input for 70-100 watts output. https://www.repeater-builder.com/other-mfrs/pdfs/tpl-pa6-1ae-1be-1fe.pdf My experience with various TPL amps is

Re: Tektronix Y400 vs Anritsu Cell Master
Thanks for the insight on this and the detailed comparison. I ended up buying an HP8921A but will consider the Tektronix or Anritsu down the road as a more portable option. Thanks again.

Re: TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
Hey joe, curious if I can drive that amp using a 5 W minimum from the repeater? Don't know how that tolerance is if it's one watt above the minimum of your level of the drive for the amp. My amp is

Re: TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
Chad, The 851's were originally designed for the overseas market where 25 watts was the max allowed in some countries. Kenwood later on started selling them here in the US. They are roughly? based on

Re: Tektronix Y400 vs Anritsu Cell Master
I have had a Y400 with both modules for a few years now, and also have a Cellmaster MT8212B. For starters, the Y400 has Windows CE as its operating system. It is a touchscreen. I compared the Y400

Re: TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
I bought a couple of new TKR-851's from Kenwood when they were closing them out. That was 12 years ago. Hope that helps with the time line.

Re: THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum
Geniuses. Give them an STA to operate IN THE BAND and expect them to not cause interference. Sounds like the federal government alright. Milair has their own band to operate in, why not do it
