The Good News: I've got approval for disposal of the equipment as I see fit. The Bad News: Due to various scheduling issues and bureaucratic processes, I will be unable to proceed any farther until August. I won't have any inventory or other information until then. Hang in there, we'll get to it. It's just going to take a while. 73, Michael WA7SKG

Hi everyone. I built myself a repeater with a pair of Kenwood radios, ESP32 based and fully functional (automated beacon, auto/manual mode, screen ...). Although repeater tail is implemented by software (which for me was the fastest and easiest) I would like to experiment in implementing it by hardware. I saw in the past that using a 555 working as monostable would be a neat, easy solution with adjustable components. I looked through the net but couldn't find any circuit used specfically in ham radio repeaters. Would anyone share a circuit like that explaining its connections and so? Thank you in advance for your time! Javier, EA6ALW

I have located a "new" spool of FSJ4-75, 2000', in SoCal. I have not personally inspected it, however, the pics I've seen show it still with the corrugated cover on the spool. It is stored upright and it not on a pallet. 44x23x44 and #130. The seller has it for $1,500 PICKED UP. They won't roll it out, so common carrier isn't an option. If anyone has a serious interest in this, contact me off list. Matt AL0R at flyfast.net

Our Club has a Kendecom 223 repeater we'd like evaluated and repaired as necessary. Who's the go-to guy anymore? Also, it has always been my understanding that these were quality repeaters. Maybe this is just for the Mark IV receivers? I've read both good and bad about Kendecom. Would we be throwing good $$ after bad? Kevin, are you still building 223 repeaters on the Micor chassis?

Messi & Paolini in Italy makes, at least in my mind, top quality direct bury 75 ohm coax with flooded copper braid, long lasting polyethylene jacket, etc and ships to USA in 3 days, at a reasonable cost. Order direct from their web site. John

Good evening, our club has a Wacom WP-639 four can duplexer as part of our repeater system. Input Fq is 147.915 and Output Fq is 147.315. We have a 600kHz (+) offset. Very simply, our main problem is when we run the transmitter at full power 100 watts, there is a HUGE desense on the receive side of things. When we drop the transmitter power level to around 20-50 watts, the receive side opens WAY up to a large area where people can get into the repeater. As we begin to bring up the transmitter power, "white noise" begins to appear and the receive side starts to desense again. All the cables have been switched to double sheilded cables and all the same wavelength in length. We have the duplexer seperated & sheilded from the transmitter & preamp parts. We have not replaced the antenna feed coax with double sheilded coax yet. Antenna is a Hustler G7 atop a 55' mast. The duplexer was retuned just over 1 year ago. Any suggestions as to what we could look into next? Some of us believe the problem is with the tuning of the duplexer receive cans. Thank you very much.

Trying to gage the number of failed mtr supplies out there and if it would be beneficial to me to start repairing them. Yes I know how. Have a number of them I have already repaired Thoughts??

Hello Everyone, I'm looking to see if there is software similar to the C-bridge softwares that will allow other DMR repeaters that are not Motorola brand to talk to each other in a network other than using Brandmeister. Looking to run my own DMR server. It's my understanding C-bridge only talk to Motorola equipment I've come to realize all of the radio manufacturers in the commercial space don't want there systems to be able to talk to there competitors equipment via a common protocol. Thank you Steven H N8RLW

Good morning: I have for sale these Motorola CP185 16 channel UHF portables, they are in good condition and work 100%. Battery seems to last the specified 11 hours on stand-by. One of the radios will come with brand new rapid 1-3 hour desktop charger in original box, one battery, mint shape speaker mic and antenna, and of course the radio. The other will have the battery, and antenna and radio. The radio will easily program for GMRS or Amateur radio use, although it is programmed for GMRS frequencies currently. I have 2 of these and I would like to sell as a pair for $235.00 shipped, but will sell the one with the speaker mic and brand-new charger for $145.00 shipped, and the other one without speaker mic and the new charger for $100.00 shipped. The one that doesn’t have the new charger, again comes with the original charger and all equipment works 100%. The Motorola CP185 radio is a 16 channel handheld unit that is ideal for educational institutions, retail, and hospitality businesses. The CP185 transmits using analog UHF or VHF frequencies, and can be programmed to work with other Motorola, Icom, and Kenwood analog radios. The Motorola CP185 includes a monochrome display, so your channels can be named to help cut down on employee confusion. There are 5 dealer programmable buttons that can be set to features such as: backlight ON/OFF toggle, keypad lock, power level, monitor, volume set, and more. Motorola CP185 radio highlights · Analog only transmissions · 16 channels · Monochrome display · UHF (435-480 MHz) or VHF (136-174 MHz*) frequency bands · 4 Watts (UHF) or 5 Watts (VHF) max power output · 11 hours battery life and up to 16 with hi-cap battery · 5 programmable buttons · 2 year Motorola warranty Please email me at wi9hf@... if interested. 73’s Chad

Well, the time has come where I’ve ran out. And low and behold, apparently this isn’t in production anymore. You can still get ?, but I don’t want ?. Anyone have a source for ? 75? Matt AL0R

Okay, here is an update. I had to go over to Idaho yesterday on other business. I was about 50 miles from Rexburg, Idaho. I drove the extra distance. Grand Teton Energy was very easy to see from the main road going into town. Sort of small industrial complex, no surprise. Their section of the building looks like a standard warehouse. Two large doors with shipping docks for semis. And one "man door". I opened the door and walked in. As I was going in, two employees were leaving for the day. There was one man working at a desk. I talked with him some. I told him that I knew of someone who was having a problem with one of their batteries. That you had called for customer service for it. He said he didn't know what the problem was with the telephone. The lady who takes care of sales and customer service works from home. I just tried to telephone and no answer. I'm going to say that since she is working from home, to just keep trying or try email for them to call. Sorry Ran, that I didn't take your phone number with me. I had missed that in your email. Their business space was quite large. They have pallets and pallets of batteries. There are a lot of work stations. These include areas for battery testing, system repairs, and design. There was a section set up for an employee break area for at least 8 people. Bottom line: they are very much in business. Mick - W7CAT

Good Morning! Our club received a grant for a new tower and other stuff. We look to purchase a DB224-E antenna for our project, but doggone the prices are unbelievable! I purchased a DB224-A 6 years ago for $573.20, and the shipping for the antenna, a spool of 7/8 feed line, and some other accessories totaled $222.02. The current price that I find for a DB224 is anywhere from $1,280 to $1,450 and shipping for the antenna alone anywhere from $193 to $380 depending on the vendor. Does anyone have any sources for "new old stock" antennas at the "old" prices or a "connection" to a vendor that will sell to a club for a better price? We aren't in any hurry; we just want the best price. It does need to be a brand new item for documentation within the grant program. Thanks & ya'll have a blessed day!

Hi Alex, Just for clarification, Item 1 is $195 each, not for both? Also, do the TM-331s come with the tone boards (TSU-6, if I recall correctly)? 73, Brad KB9BPF

Is there any interest in Tait commercial equipment? My county recently upgraded some channels to P25 Conventional and has a pile of Tait VHF repeaters and associated stuff and would like to find suitable users before it goes to E-Waste. Michael WA7SKG

I have a Yaesu FT-1802 and FT-1807. Would it be possible to make a mobile repeater with them? If so can someone point me in the right direction with some links, videos. Joe KK4JPZ

I have card extenders for the r2001 for testing and calibration but i don't have the short coaxial jumpers to extend the modules. Does anybody know what type those small coaxial connectors are?
