Can I use a low power programming cable to program high power astro spectra?
8
I have a programming cable I used to program a low power dash mount astro spectra. I have read that this cable is usable for programming a high power trunk mount astro spectra. I'm not sure about the (B+) power cabling. Do I need to connect the heavy gauge vehicle battery cable (high power battery cable) to the spectra and NOT use the small gauge (fused) wire on the low power programming cable. Will the astro 25 tuner ver. 5.04.00 program my astro spectra? I only require analog NB. No frills I appreciate any guidance. Tim AE7TH Vashon Is. Wa.

Repeater Quality Antenna Need - FLORIDA
Hello Group, I am still looking for a repeater quality antenna, preferably a set of 4 exposed dipoles for a project in SW Fla. This is to replace a current antenna that is in service but needs to be replaced. I don’t mind driving to pickup the ‘right’ antenna of course. Should be something useable in the amateur VHF/2mtr spectrum of course. Thanks in advance for reading. – Mike, K4CVL

WACOM WP-641 vs. Sinclair Q2330E
6
I have both of these duplexers available to replace an existing system. The site itself is a water tower with an existing DB224 that has been made available to me. It is mounted at the very top-center of the tank. There is a backup fire department repeater at the site on UHF. I don’t even think it’s plugged in. The tower also has 5G panels mounted all the way around the perimeter. Given that space is not a consideration and all things being equal, which of the subject duplexers would you choose to put behind an MSR-2000 running 50 – 60 watts out of the PA? I have experience with the WP-641, but not the Sinclair. 73, Mike WM4B

IC FR4000 flat audio for MMDVM and DMR conversion?
4
I never worked with an IC FR4000 and I had a request to help a group of ham make a DMR repeater from a FR4000. To do it, we need to have flat audio in and out. and I was able to find the information for the TX section. But the RX I am not sure. the way I see it, Pin 9 is ok for the TX side? and pin 12 is ok for the RX side? Anyone ever used that repeater for DMR? Thanks Pierre VE2PF

Icom FR4000-3 Repeater
5
Good evening all, I'm having difficulty reading two (very dirty) Icom FR-4000-3 repeaters that I recently acquired for rehab. My software is CS-F3000 version 1.1 and I am using a genuine OPC-478 cable with a homemade OPC-592 (mini-stereo to RJ-45) adapter. PC is Windows 10 with a known good usb-serial adapter. I've double checked the simple two-wire adapter pin out and am confident I have RJ-45 pins 2 and 7 properly terminated to the ring and sleeve of the mini-stereo. No communication between the radio and software. Is there anything special about putting the FR3/4000 series repeaters in "clone" or programming mode? No specific guidance in the owners and service manuals other than indicating power-on is all that's required (unless entering service mode, which has separate instructions). Any insights are greatly appreciated. Jeremy K1LFK

Astro Spectra programming help
2
Hello Group, I thought this task would be easy. But the more I delve into the programming the more confused I become. Here is my situation. *Radio* Astro Spectra-T04KLF9PW4AN (1 meg 2.5 kHz) I don't believe this to be a Spectra+ *Control Head* W4 Fully connected to transceiver Power cable also connected. All cables connected as when radio was in vehicle. *Computer* Win 7, 32 bit laptop with one USB 1 port and 9 pin serial port. *Motorola RIB* I have a real Motorola RIB. DO I REQUIRE IT? *Programming Cable* DO I REQUIRE A RIBLESS CABLE? What cable # and where do I connect radio end? With control head cable connected to radio I have one 25 pin female connector between the handle on the radio. Is the programming cable connected to that or does it connect to control head? *Programming Software* My information tells me that I require CPS 5.02.xx or 5.03.00 . I see the CPS is readily available but if some good hearted soul could mail me the CPS (if it's legal) I'd be happy to reimburse time and postage. I'm tearing my hair out and I only plan on programming six or seven VHF NB repeater fxs. and a few "Talkaround" channels. Appreciate any and all help. Tim Hardy AE7TH Vashon Is. Wa.

Diamond X510HDM help.

I bought a 510 at a hamfest...decent price ... for my repeater. Anyway, I cleaned it up and put it back together.... 181Mhz resonance. Tried changing some of the vertical elements... still no good! I got a diagram for a 510HM and it's not even close. Anyone have any info???? This thing has 3 main elements, with one of them coming apart to make it 4. NH6FU

Pentagrid converter

Hi all, This is a type of tube (electronic valve) that some of the old-timers may remember. This is a first for me. Some of the old receivers out of the 1930's-ish used them (about a century ago). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagrid_converter - Regards, Karl Shoemaker To contact me, please visit SRG's web site at http://www.srgclub.org for the current email address.

Internet provision at a remote repeater site?
13
I am the keeper of GB3VS a UHF repeater in the UK .it operates using the ARCOM 210 controller ..which has 2 spare channels I am considering connecting it into the Allstar network but the site has no internet. We are a small group with limited resources so a a mobile SIM is not really an option. My home QTH is approx 500M from the repeater site. I am therefore looking at how I might extend a data link from my home to the site ? Alternatively link the repeater raw audio ( without callsign, time announcements etc) to my home QTH where it could routed into my hotspot Raspberry Pi. I am sure that someone must have attempted this at some stage?

Future programming of Astro Spectra T04KLF9PW4AN W9 head
2
Hello Group, Hoping to clear up my confusion. From my research I see that CPS 5.03 is best although 5.02 can be used. I do have Astro Spectra CPS 11.00.01. I can't find any information on this CPS. Is it usable. (really high ver.!) My goal is to program several narrow band channels. Modulation will be analog. 146.6875 (out), 146.0875 (in) Repeater will be NB analog with PL squelch and rpt. ID. No digital, just simple. I plan to use a win 7 32 bit laptop. I do have a Motorola RIB (if required) but not sure about the cable to radio. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Regards, Tim Hardy AE7TH
