Running echo link on a repeater
Hi, does anyone have any good resources? Other than echo Link to help me set levels for box on a repeat running echo Link? I do it by trial and error because I've never found a good resource to help me set that correctly, people say I'm cutting out all the time and people coming through my link for Peter seem to cut out a lot. I am going to get a West mountain radio rig blaster plug-in play next week which will maybe help that problem. But in the meantime, does anyone have any settings? Suggestions for my echo link note?

WTB: GLB Model 414 transceiver power connector
4
Hi, I hope this isn't too far off topic, but there's lots of good GLB information on Repeater Builder, and I have discussed GLB synthesizers with other members of this group.... I found a GLB 414 two meter transceiver while doing a cleaning/dejunking of some shelves. I connected 12 volts to it and the radio actually works, and quite well! But I can't find any power cable for it. It uses a strange 5 pin DIN connector. If you have a connector that mates with the one on the back of the radio (picture attached) and want to part with it, I'm interested. Please contact me with a price including shipping. Thanks.

Quantar chassis
6
Folks I had something odd here. I have three Quantars in service, all 100W, one UHF in 441 band, two 927 band. I had a PA fail on the 927 in Cedar Hill so for tight now I pulled the PA from the local Quantar here at the house and put it in Cedar Hill and that's all fine, 100W out. The 441 Quantar is here in the shack and easy to work on (its three feet away). So I popped out the UHF exciter and PA, installed a 900 exciter and one of my spare 900 PA's, reprogrammed the codeplug for 900 transmit, connected the 10 mhz out from my service monitor for external ref. All three PA's only would make 20 watts and all showed PA Fail and PA low. And to answer the first question, the PA out was connected directly to the Bird/load. Is there a difference between a UHF and 900 (or 800) chassis? I'm puzzled because when I popped one of these PAs into the 927 Quantar in the garage all was fine, no faults. Also in the uhf chassis they all showed just about zero reflected power. GeorgeC W2DB

Swap: Ics controllers quantar 1x for a northcomm quantar ecm.
6
Looking to swap a brand new ics control quantar 1x for the northcomm quantar ecm and program cable. I'm looking for a more simple plug and play solution than something I need to jump through all sorts of gyration to get up and running. And I don't need all the capabilities of the ics I just need remote disable, and courtesy beep. So the northcomm might be better for me and the ics might be suited to someone who has more patience than i do to set it up properly and needs the advanced functionality of the ics. I'm only using this on a gmrs repeater so I don't need a bunch of advanced features or digital linking. My understanding is the northcomm is just set wildcards in quantar and then 1 adjustment on the board that requires no test gear to set it up. Suffice to say I can't get courtesy beep or remote disable to function on my quantar with the ics and the ics is brand new. I got voice id'er to work fine so I'm sure it's a setting on the ics board. I'm just out of patience to screw with it. I want an overall plug and play unit. I will also sell the ics outright for what i paid for it in leu of a swap. Let me be clear it's not ics fault it's l something I'm not doing correctly and I don't have the eyesight or dexterity in my hands anymore to work with small stuff like this board.

Spectra Flat TX/RX Audio
2
All, On batlabs's spectra page it mentions that there is an option on the analog spectra to do flat tx/rx audio which I need for some data purposes, It also mentions that hte info is in the service manual (the version I have its not) Does anyone know what jumpers need to be changed inside the radio to get flat tx/rx audio to the rear connector on a dash-mount radio? I'd also potentially be interested in a uhf service manual if anyone has one that they'd part with that has that information in it. Thanks --Don KD7WKF

Kenwood D710 No audio on Aux port
3
I had a TKR 750 working on a RLC 3 Controller. I bought a New TKR D710 and hooked it up to the same cable and configured the D710 just about Identical to the TKR 750. If I let the Repeaters internal controller control the Repeater I get normal Audio out of the repeater but when I turn off the Repeat enable and let the RLC control it I get PTT on the D710 but no Audio just Carrier I also have TKR 850 on another Port it will key up but no Audio and if I talk into the TKR 850 it repeats fine out of it but the D710 Transmits but no Audio out. I have Aux In/Out 4 Set to Encode Signaling Enable, Aux Out 5 COR Active Low and Aux In/Out 6 TOR Active Low.

Hi power VHF Micor stuff for FREE
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

MTR-2000 losing it's memory/settings when powered down?
All, Have a nice UHF MTR-2000 40w we are looking to use for 44 ham usage. Starting from a clean default profile, it programs up perfectly and will operate perfectly. But if powered down, TX audio & CW ID are way down, etc. It's like it's losing settings. Reload the codeplug and it's back in business. Test menu every thing works perfectly, including deviation. I'm wondering if it's go an issue like the quantars with worn out non-volatile memory (EEPROM, E2PROM, or similar). Anyone dealt with this before? Any suggestions appreciated. This repeater is otherwise very nice and hears extremely well. Thanks in advance, Alan Barrow KM4BA

Wacom WP-678 Cable lengths

I am building a Duplexer for a GMRS repeater. I have a Wacom WP-678 that is missing the interconnect cables. I did a little search hoping I could find some documentation on the lengths for cutting new ones. 462/467 split. Anyone know these off the top of their head, or have a chart somewhere?

General Dynamics R2600 Resouce CD Not Connecting
3
So I downloaded and installed the Rev M R2600 Resource CD and made a DB25 to DB9 cable for my 2600C based on the following schematic from the R2600 Programming Reference Manual I tried using the Screen Capture program and I just get a black screen with a few white lines at the bottom, the Memory Preset save and restore function work just fine, and the firmware update utility says it can't communicate with the analyzer. I've matched the serial port settings on both ends and followed all the steps in the documentation. I'm not too upset about the Screen Capture program working, I'm more focused on the firmware update utility. Any tips or tricks on getting this all to work? Also, is there a cheap DB9 to VGA adapter I can buy from Amazon or Fleabay for an external monitor without having to build one if I don't have to?

Manual CDM Low-Band
7
Hi to All, I just bought a nice Motorola CDM-1250 Low-Band modified for 6 Meter Ham Band. But I am looking for the Service manual and I can only find the manual for VHF and UHF. The radio does work and turn on by the ignition accessories plug pin but I have some problem with the control head. No ON-Off button function, no Lights for the display, no RX-TX light, no Lightening of the DTMF Mike. And I have some question on the output power specs of this radio, it is set to 65 Watts in CPS put putting out 90 W on my Bird Bench Wattmeter? My Model is : AAM25DKD9AA2AN I am hoping that a member as seen this control heads problem before and somebody as the proper manual for this radio. Or at least the model number info to know what is the normal output power of this radio? Thanks’ to all for looking in their electronic document file. Best 73 Carl VA2CMB

MTR2000 UHF Low Band

Hi, I own a MTR2000 UHF Low Band High Power. Apparently there is a way to get this low band within the ham band (430-440). I once saw a description on the repeater-builder website but can't find anything about it anymore. Is there anyone who can help me on my way? Thanks in advance, Manu - ON7FQ
