Yaesu & the crossband limitations?
Before you get too far into this, you may want to look at the FCC Regulations related to identification, and more importantly, remote control. Mick - W7CAT

TPL UHF Amps for Sale
I have quite a few amps that were decommissioned recently and need a new home. These have a built in power supply so they are kind of a cool self contained unit. All have been tested and work well. These are tuned for 460MHz but I tested them at 445MHz. If you go through the effort or re-tuning them you will get slightly better output and lower current consumption. Typical output as follows. 10W In = 110W Out, 7W In = 95W Out, 5W In = 70W Out. Price including shipping to lower 48 is $450. Oh yes, the only thing that doesn't work is the Neon bulb indicating the unit is on. God knows why they used that versus an LED.

Vertex VXR-7000 power cycling after transmit
3
Hello all, Our club has a Vertex VXR-7000 VHF repeater that has recently developed a problem. Whenever it finishes transmitting, it always power cycles. This happens both in remote mode with two different controllers (Arcom RC-210 and RLC Club Deluxe II), as well as operating in local mode without a controller. I¡¯ve read where this might be an issue with the power supply. As of right now, we are running it off AC power. The thought crossed my mind of hooking it up to the big 70amp Astron up there with the Battery terminals on the Vertex and seeing if that cures the issue. Any ideas? Thanks, Stephen KG4PTO

Looking for RLN5933 in-dash bracket
I am looking for several RLN5933 in-dash brackets for the XPR4000 series radios to finish off a project. This is a bracket that fits into a single DIN dash opening in a standard vehicle. Apparently Motorola has discontinued this item. I am aware of other methods of accomplishing the same result. If you have any available, please reply directly to mengle@... Thanks Milt N3LTQ

Accessory connector on back of TK8302
15
A buddy and I are trying to configure a Kenwood TK8302 to work as a link radio from the RC 210 repeater controller. Bought a cable from Ken, but that doesn't work so does anyone have pinouts for the accessory port on the back of the TK8302 so we know what pins go to what?

Grounding rods
20
Been trying all day to get a 8ft grounding rod all the way down. I have 6ft in the ground. It doesn't seem to want to go deeper. I feel I've hit rock. The ground here is very rocky & mixed with red (iron rich) clay. The tower is next to the house. Its embedded in a 5ft deep concrete base. There was about 10/12ft of topsoil/earth moved to level the spot for the house. So the lack of original top soil means I'm hitting lots of rock fairly soon. This area used to be mined for iron ore. So that's why I know the ground is rich with iron deposits in that red clay. Heck my drinking water is spring fed & it's rich with iron too. So here's what I was wondering given the circumstances & type of soil for the area. Can I just get another grounding rod & drive on the other side of the tower. It will hopefully go 6ft in as well. Deeper would be nice. Then tie the two rods together with sold conductor ground wire at the copper bus bar I'm mounting on the tower. Would that be good? I'm using a "maximum effort" ?? fence post driver & sledge hammer. Also I'm noticing the hole gets bigger than the grounding rod from all the labor of driving it in. I've got some pure copper powder. Would it be wise to pour some down that hole to help fill gaps & ensure good connection?

Explorer QRZ-1 Radio
15
Hello Group, I am writing to find out what I can about the "QRZ New Ham Jumpstart Program" "Explorer QRZ-1" radio. Wanting to find out what experience some of you have had with this radio. One of the main things to find out is what the deviation is like. Does it suffer from the low deviation like the boothingys do? I don't need or want any of those on my system. The local group has been very good about using good radios. I have three people who just got their license issued this week. So of course they are looking for new radios. Trying to help them get started with a good starter radio while looking for something better. Anyone run up any of these to see how they do??? Mick - W7CAT -- Untitled Document

what is the consequence of reducing insertion loss on sinclair c2037 mutlicouplers
2
Look at the insertion loss curves to see what the rejection to other frequencies are and the required isolation required for duplex operation. For 600khz rx to tx split, depending on the radios used, it can¡¯t be lowered without degradation and still may need 1 Q (pass/reject) cavity added between the last pass can and radio.

Colorado Repeater Fails After??30 Years
9
Colorado Repeater Fails After 30 Years My repeater controller, Connect Systems, Private Patch V, Has failed. It was installed in 1995 and has been on 24/7 since then. The failure was loss of touch tone control and was traced to U7. U7 is a touch tone decoder IC, 75T2089IP, 22 pin DIP. It was replaced and the controller is operational again. The Radio functions of the repeater never failed. Pretty good MTBF, 263,000 Hours. The MTTR Maintainability was excellent, This 22 pin DIP is in a socket ! 3 minutes to find the bad part and 3 minutes to replace it. No further analysis was performed, yet. There was a function error about 15 years ago, I had to reprogram one line in the EEPROM. Probably a cosmic ray upset, Not a hard failure. We get more cosmic rays in Colorado than at sea level, https://emerginginvestigators.org/articles/20-190 Paul w0rw

MSR2000 Continuous Duty PA power control problem
I inherited a highband MSR2000 that was partially stripped. The continuous duty TLD2602A PA was still in it and beckoned for me to do something with it just as a need came along. I benched the PA and have a keying switch temporarily connected to the appropriate pin. With a few hundred mW drive it pegs a 100W Bird meter. I'm still looking for a 250W slug) I am reading around 23Amps on the 13.8Vdc applied. Adjusting the power set pot makes no change at all in output. I am not experienced with this model, in days past Skipp was so generous when he sent me a driver transistor (an odd PNP device as I recall) and I got the exciter crystalled up and working but its not currently installed (the control chassis is incomplete). I poured over the Motorola drawings and see the power control board TLD5960A is under a metal shield, and it uses a pre-historic silicon opamp type M2002. I hope that's not bad. I'd really like to find a known good power control board to substitute. I see this thing needs 9.3Vdc so I made a 3 terminal regular set for 9.3V that I connected to the red/white wire going to the 4-pin feedthru on the PA but it doesn't seem to be the solution and the power out is still way too much to put this into service. I wonder if anyone has had this kind of problem? I'm still on a steep learning curve with this MSR. Am I missing something? Reid W6MTF

Hi power VHF Micor stuff for FREE
4
I have available free for pickup three vhf Micor base stations. One of them has a 136-150mHz PA deck, that was working when last in service about ten years ago. There have been various parts robbed, but believe there is enough here that one complete repeater could be assembled. I believe there is a native 142-150mHz receiver as well. The collection comes with a set of NOS 8560 finals. Free for pickup in West Terre Haute, IN. You must take the entire lot. Contact me direct at k9hxATyahoo if interested. I do gave a few pictures, but the cabinets are against a wall, and are a little dirticult to move to get better shots. There are three loose HP power supplies, status unknown. Thanks and 73, Kevin, K9HX

Decibel DB-404 antennas.
6
Selling several DB-404 antennas cut for the 460 MHz range. Perfect for a GMRS repeater or some such. In good usable shape, various ages. Will ship these WITH NO MAST in a compact box CONUS 48 @ $225 in a box each. Stuff is getting spendy new these days so save some coin. Use your own mast to save some money. These have factory harnesses with type N connectors and have been swept to make sure. I might even have a couple cut for the "T" band 470+ if someone needs one. I can text or email pictures as they are before they are taken off the masts for shipping and compare the loops. These have a higher SWR than I like on the ham UHF 440 band so I recommend them to use on GMRS instead. Thanks for reading! Rick w6re
