VHF Duplexer Identification 2
Friends, Please take a look at the attached pictures and see if you can identify the duplexer. it seems like it may be something along the lines of a Decibel Products DB4062-WOC-B. In the Ham VHF repeater band, they seem to have about 1 dB per channel of passband insertion loss and about 75 dB of rejection in the notches. Thoughts? Thanks! Jeff KC8VFN

Anybody have any knowledge or documents to add to the Helper Instruments page ?
I recently had the need to do some research on Helper Instruments and locate a schematic. I ended up overhauling the page at Repeater-Builder. Does anyone know what Bill Detweiler's ham callsign was? It's undoubtedly been reissued... Neither the ARRL or the RCA have that... Does anyone know who the rest of the Helper people were? Or what happened to them? Maybe you have an old business card in the back of a desk drawer? If anyone has the missing applications notes it would be nice if we could offer them for download. If all you have is a paper copy we'd be happy to scan it and return it. The missing ones are: Everything you need to know about SINAD Line Measurements Speed Control System Troubleshooting What the Modulation Monitor Has Missed Troubleshooting With Your Power Supply R.F.

UHF mobiles 9
Hi, Does anyone know what version 2 UHF radios in the commercial line will operate 440-470 straight through without retuning? I have the TK 8180 which works great in that range, the TK 8302 needs tweaking every couple of MHz. Interested to know what other radios will do this that have a front mounted speaker? ~Thanks, Chad

TDR for power line 4
Anyone have experience using a TDR to locate an underground fault for high voltage ? There's a PUD in central Washing that can't appear to fix an outage for the past three weeks or so. It's affecting several comm sites and one ski area. It's high up around 7,000 ASL with 20-foot drifts. The road is derivable around the first or second week of July each season. I'm not sure if it's incompetence or lack of training but the concept seems simple enough to me; send a pulse down the line and watch for the return indicating something is wrong. There are several of these units on the market, on line. I also suspect it's not an exact science and requires lots of experience to be effective. If I were in the area I suppose I could hook up the (dead) line to a spark plug circuit (from an engine or whatever) and walk the mile line listening for anomalies with an AM radio. For now, one leasee is dragging large amounts of propane to keep one site alive. -- - Regards, Karl Shoemaker To contact me, please visit SRG's web site at http://www.srgclub.org for the current email address.

TX Board for Motorola XPR8300 Repeater? 3
I am resurrecting an XPR8300. The TX board is scorched. Board #: MOTOTRBO U1-HP 8486777Z14-C UHF Ham Range Does anyone have a parted-out XPR8300 willing to sell the TX board to me? The poor heat-dissipation design makes this a seemingly common ailment. Private message me. Thanks, Steve, N9ATO

Follow up on KMC 35 Mic Mod for TKX90 Radios
For anyone not reading our original post a little background. The repeater-builder article on the TK690H mentioned that the black KMC35 mic gave better sounding audio than the OEM grey KMC27 mic supplied with the radio. This is noticeably the case, but there seemed to me that a little more highs would be an improvement even on the KMC35 mike replacement, which is the OEM mike supplied with the TK8180 and some other Kenwood mobiles. Therefore I removed chip cap C10 on the mic pc board which works as a low level low pass filter in the 600 ohm mic input to the radio to partially cut off above about 2200-2500 cps. The result was a somewhat improvement in passing some more speech highs, with no noticeable effect on mike lows, so probably worth removing 0.068 uF C10. The comment was made that that should not be necessary as audio was quite good with the KMC35 mike as stock. Then I realized that the TK8180 audio input response is flat to 2800 cps, but only to about 2200-2500 cps on the TK690H radios tested. John

Improving selectivity on a reciver 7
Hello Everyone, Let me first say this is an experimental improvement to see it will work. I have a hamtronics reciver board that is running in the 220MHZ space. It's one the last board produced before the owner had a fatal bicycle accident. I wanted to see if I could improvement the selectivity of the receiver by narrowing filters or am I look at more of a total redo of the circuit. Like I said, I'm doing this as a experiment. I wanted to narrow it to the current 222-225 Mhz from the old 220 to 225 Mhz. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks Steven H. N8RLW

VHF Cavities and other 220 combining available.... plus MORE
This is a "For What its Worth" post, but maybe it will have some interest. I hope posting this here does not violate any group rules, but it seems like the appropriate audience. I am clearing out and liquidating a lot of equipment from a closed shop in Las Vegas. Currently I want/need to catalog everything before I start sharing, but in an attempt to save time and shipping expense I am posting the following: I have (2) Db Products VHF Combiner racks, (See attached). They stand about 4' high and about 3' square. (I'm not opposed to parting them out, but initially prefer to see if anyone wants them as a whole). Most of the equipment will most likely be shipped back to the Chicago area to be dealt with, but given the size of these, if anyone is interested in them I would like to know before I screw up the logistics by moving them around. As stated, there will be more later, but I also have a LOT of 220 Combining, (Mostly 5 channel racks, but I will part out if necessary), if anyone is interested. I also have some of the Securicor 220 repeaters with the PA's as has been discussed. If interested give me a reply (Off Group would be best). I am not trying to break anyone's bank on this stuff, but I do have mounting storage and logistical expenses I need to offset, so if anyone is interested, I'm sure we can reach reasonable pricing that benefits both sides. Thanks..... Bob PS, As stated, there is a LOT more stuff available that I need to address in ALL bands, (VHF, 220,UHF, 800 & 900), as well as MANY manuals. If you are looking for anything specific, drop me a line, (Off Group) and I'll let you know if I have it.

Suggestions for service monitor 15
With SDR being a thing these days, is there any software that could turn say a BladeRF into a capable service monitor for duplexer tuning and alignment? Or any off the shelf solutions which just connect to a computer with USB for operating the service monitor so you don't need the expense of a box with everything in it, similar to the USB oscilloscopes? If not, what is the best bang-for-your-buck ebay-able service monitor that is suitable for most basic service/alignment tasks on repeaters/mobiles/duplexers? Thanks, Mike

MTR2000 channel steering 8
I'm trying to figure this out. The Moto lit says up to 32 channels and the Wildcard tables show the 96-pin connector GPIOs, but... I don't understand the programming UI. First, is binary channel steering possible without optional cards? Second, does anyone have any explanation of how to do this, perhaps with screenshots? Yes, I can jig up a radio and play, but I'd prefer not to reinvent fire. 73 -de "Curly" John NI0K QRZ.com Hamshack Hotline call me: 6100271

Capacitors in DB4332B and DB4333B 7
I am trying to determine the values of variable capacitors in DB Products Low Pass Filters to see if I can convert an 800 Mhz LPF that I bought in a flea market to a 450 Mhz LPF by just changing the inductors between the capacitors. Here is the setup. I bought two DB4333B type low pass filters for 850 Mhz for a very reasonable price. The actual model number listed on the cases is 020252-004. The frequency range is 851-869 Mhz. There are N females on both input and output. Coincidentally, there is not a model number in the Spectra catalog that shows N(F) to N(F). The specific frequency range is also not listed in the catalog, but are wider. I assume this is some kind of OEM model number. It is labeled Decibel. The inductors in the 800 Mhz LPF between the four capacitors are bare, straight, and no turns. I would like to move the cutoff frequency to convert these to the same as a UHF DB4332B to use on an isolator for my amateur UHF repeater. I already have a couple of DB 4332B LPF's for UHF (450 -512 Mhz). The inductors look like 2 1/2 turns on the input and output and 3 1/2 turns between the two inner capacitors. I tried to measure the capacitors in both of these LPF's, but considering the capacitors are in the pf range, it was not that easy to deal with stray capacitances. Does anybody know the capacitor values in the the DB4333-2450 and DB 800 Mhz LPF's? If the capacitors between eh 450 and 800 Mhz are the same value or even close, I should be able to lower the LPF cut-off by increasing the number of turns in the filter to the same number as the DB4332-A. If the capacitors between 450 and 800 Mhz are different, I will just have to cut and try and see what shows up on the spectrum analyzer. I did not want to solder and unsolder inductors to the expensive piston type trimmers and damage them with heat. The wire looks like #12 to me and is covered with shellac in the UHF and plain old copper wire for the 800 Mhz device? I have measured the diameter of the coils in the 450 Mhz LPF and have it written down, someplace? I am just trying to avoid buying additional DB4332B LPF's or equivalent replacement capacitors. That would turn my "reasonable price" into a "not so reasonable price." Thanks. Micheal Salem N5MS

Amphenol Old Style RG-393? 6
Hi all, I recently just picked up an item from Facebook marketplace, taking the chance on it. It was a roll of unknown coax. The seller took pictures of the roll and the end of the cable. I counted the center conductor stranding, and counted 7. It was silver plated. Having made tons of cable with RG-393, this was my best guess. I reached out and he shipped it to me for $50. Low and behold, I have 230ft of this RG-393. However, it has a braided outer jacket, has a thin layer of what I think is PTFE? separating the outer braided jacket from the shield. There are two silver plated copper shields, then wrapped PTFE? around the center conductor. Does anyone have any info on this cable? Data sheets? Tricks for terminating it? From what I can find out, it was used for military applications. I have attached a few photos of it. Thanks, Joe KC3LMP

220Mhz ACSB amplifier 12
I have a few of these LMM 220 amplifiers. I drive it with .05w and it gives me 113W or so output. From the analyzer it looks very clean. Of course these amps were not made for FM. I have seen a few past posts where people would talk about these and several are in use, but there is only one post where someone said to bypass a capacitor to use on fm. No mention what cap he is referring to. For those who are familiar with this amp, enlighten me on your expirence or knowledge. It would be real nice to convert the exciter and receiver to fm! That’s fairyland thinking… 73 WZ5TX
