Port-A-Peater M100A Documentation

 

I'm looking for a copy of the documentation that came with a device called Port-A-Peater, built by a company called W-S Engineering located in Pine Hill, NJ.? A quality control tag on the inside of the unit indicates it was built/tested on 11 Nov 1982. Unit I have appears to be NOS and in perfect mechanical condition. Google did not help in this case!
 

Gale,

A friend of mine had one of these early "repeater controllers" that was intended to take two mobile radios (of that era) and make a portable repeater for emergency use.? As I recall, it's a plastic / metal case half the size of a shoe box that has connectors and knobs to set hang time and so on.? I don't remember if it was VOX based or actually logic, but I remember it was constructed fairly well - considering the time.? I don't remember it having a IDer.

According to their ad, it was VOX or COR.? The ad can be seen here:

I found these 2 Porta-Peater Instant Repeater ads from 73 Magazine. Spent an hour searching with?no success finding the manual.

Original company?W-S Engineering PO BOX 58 PINE HILL NJ 08021 Phone 201-852-0269?

No luck finding any other information. There was an article?in the April 1997 QST page.

I am fairly certain (85%) I have said documents.?

I used to have one of those boards. They were advertised in one of the Ham rags back then, with some basic info and diagrams.?

I bought one of their "defective" boards for dirt cheap - before they went bust. It was merely a diode inserted backwards.?

I am in the hospital currently, I can look for it when I get home. It will be a few days or so before I can walk and such, to search. So... Have patience. I may not get out of here until Tuesday to start with, assuming a procedure goes well tomorrow.?

Feel free to contact me directly from here.?

I think that was the on in a older 73 mag I think. I found on for what I have that way. Have to remember where it is.The ID'er was diode in the article, and on the factory version it is a prom.

Could be wrong, just rememebr the picture. I'll check here soon.
