Allstar Running on a Dell Thin Client
I am looking to network a UHF repeater into a local Allstar network using a Dell thin client. Whilst I understand that remote shut down of the repeater can be achieved within the software, I also need the ability to shut down a second unconnected transmitter This requires a pair of ¡®closing relay contacts¡¯ I really these too would be operated by DTMF Any ideas please? Thank you

2175 Hz Voting tone encoder Board
Hi to All, I am replacing a Failling MSR2000 VHF 100 Watts by a Tait T800 series 2 VHF 100 Watts. The receiver of the MSR is driving a Sectra-Tac board in a voting system. The new Tait Repeater as a RX Line out like the MSR but no 2175 Hz encoder. Before I take out the encoder board in the MSR and fit it in the T800... I was wondering if there is a aftermarket source for 2175 hz voting encoder board ? Or if any member did this modofication before? Best 73 Carl VA2CMB

Quantar Extender Cables 10
Are there extender cards or cables to aid in Quantar module troubleshooting and tuning? Other than some content on the W9CR website, which was very useful, I have not been able to find a thing. It seems like I may end up having to use a stripped down Quantar Chassis for this purpose. Thanks! Jeff KC8VFN

TE Systems? 7
Does anyone know if TE Systems is still in business? I sent them an email last Monday asking about pricing and availability of two six meter repeater amplifiers and have not received any response. I'm looking to purchase a 150 to 300 watt amp. Has anyone on the list had first hand experience with TE Systems repeater amps? Thanks, Dan WD4LUR

Echo on the FM of my mmdvm
Hello everyone, I'm using the bi7jta card for GM340 repeaters. It works well on FM. I have two problems: I get echo when users speak, as if they're using an echo microphone. The second problem is Beacons are leaving intermittently, very close together, and trigger the CTCSS on my radios. Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance. F4GIX

SLR5700 repeater 5
What is the value on the used market for a Motorola SLR5700 repeater removed from a working trunk system in excellent condition? Only reason for change is system does not meet the needs of the user and a system to meet their needs is being installed. Hoping to recover some of their investment. Thank you Roger

Kenwood TK-6110 Programming 3
I have a Kenwood TK-6110 that I am putting on 6 meters (almost). I have a modified version of the KPG-59D software to increase the frequency range to 54 Mhz for 6 meters. Everything works except for the sensitivity setting in test mode. I am attempting to set the value to 255 at 54 Mhz, 215 at 50 Mhz and 135 at 42.00 Mhz. I have changed the test channels to 42, 50 and 54 Mhz and everything looks normal but all 3 of the values get the same value as the last entry. I would like to have the front end tuning tracking as I have some Rx only channels in the 42 Mhz range. I also don't understand what the low, center and high tabs do on the sensitivity menu? Hopefully someone in the brain trust can give me a nudge in the right direction? Jack K6YC

Does anyone have a northcomm quantar ecm?
Anyone have one they are not using that they would sell cheap along with the program cable? I also have a ics quantar pi zero for sale. It's new. I want to go a hardware route vs pi zero route. I just need remote disable and courtesy beep. The northcomm will fill that bill just fine. I'm not a pi expert and can't get the ics configured properly.

THREAT TO 222-225MHz Spectrum Getting Worse with additional licenses issued outside of California 17
I know I've written about this before but since then the threat has increased to the 222-225MHz Spectrum. The FCC has issued additional licenses to the Company "Chaos" with high powered Radar Testing in the spectrum. The first experiences we had with this was in Hermosa Beach area of Los Angeles County. Now they have new test beds in the following areas: FCC licenses issued to Chaos Industries. Please see the attached documents. WY9XPE - (222-225 MHz) Camp Atterbury, Indiana WY9XYL - (222-225 MHz) MCAS Yuma, Arizona WY9XYM - (222-225) MHz) Irwin National training Center, California WY9XWP - (228-233) MHz Desert Center, Riverside, California Apparently, these are in addition to their existing licenses, These licenses are footnoted that they must cease immediately if they cause interference to Amateur Radio operations. The FCC continues to authorize non amateur radio operations in amateur radio spectrum. If operations are of a temporary, proof-of-concept nature only and in low population areas, perhaps we could just wait. The problem it brings is precedence, which is how many mechanisms of law work. The precedent set giving way to a case being made that they have greater need for the spectrum than we, and an opportunity for the FCC to auction or otherwise reallocate the band. The problem we have, how do we 'defend' against this in these sparse population areas where 220 amateur activity is very low? We can mobilize folks as we have in our local area, but there's a whole interior of the nation where overall use is light. Especially for an off-beaten-path band like 220. This is a strategic threat requiring a strategic response. Remember, these transmitters may not be near you, however if a repeater input can see the transmitter its ability to receive a weak signal is degraded. I urge ALL repeater owners to look at these locations, if in anyway you know repeater owners who may be impacted make them aware of this threat. Today its the 220 MHz spectrum, tomorrow its 1.2GHz, 420-450MHz spectrum or even 144-148MHz, don't think companies like Choas are not thinking of that? Remember, its not a Right, its a Privilege that we can use the spectrum we do and we will have to fight to keep it. Thank you, John N.

19 inch rack mount AC power strip 14
Hi, me again! Lol. Does anyone have a power strip that is 19 inch rackmount with about 8 to 10 outlets which is AC with surge protector? I have one but it came with the rack that I bought in the switch got destroyed so looking to get one to replace it. Don't know what happened to the switch, but it wouldn't even move. Thought there was a cover over the switch is what someone told me, but I got the piece out and ended up being the switch with wires coming out of the back. If no one has one of these AC power strips for a rack, any good recommendations? Chad Nelson WI9HF/WRPL979 Janesville Wisconsin 608-754-8671 Send from my spectrum iPhone 16.

Stationmaster type antenna available, 152 MHz., Nashville, TN 13
I have what appears to be a Stationmaster type VHF antenna available. It shows a -20dB return loss at 152 MHz., so it's not cut for the ham band. The return loss at 146 MHz. is only~ -6dB. The extrior of the fiberglass is obvisouly weathered along the entire 23' length but not "feathered". I'd want to apply a new outer coat of protective paint or resin before putting it into service. Other than that, it seems to be in good mechanical condition. I think I have the radials for it somewere in my stash of too much stuff. I don't know if it can be modified for ham radio use or if someone on the list would have a use for it as is. Open to offers; would rather it go to somone who can use it than scrap it for the copper and brass. It's near Nashville, TN. Please email me directly, I don't read the list traffic. I'm good on QRZ. -- Thank you, Robin K4IDC

Kenwood TKR-820 UHF 10
Weird one for the experts... I have a TKR-820 that has been running for YEARS. And before I got it, it was running for years!!! After about of month of running (summer/winter no difference), it kicks off. When I reset the power switch, it flashes red briefly and goes out. If I leave it off overnight, I can come back in the morning, turn it on and work for another month... Really???? How does one trouble shoot this???

Motorola GM300/Maxtrac rear rx pin not passing audio 18
I will start out by saying this is the second gm300 to do this to me. I use it as a repeater receiver. Does very well for what it is. The unfiltered rx audio from the gm300 feeds a masters SC50 micor squelch/PL board then from there it goes to the rlc controller. The actual receive in the radio still works but that pin on the rear will not pass any audio. When the repeater is keyed it is just a dead key. Can¡¯t give the controller any commands either¡­ when this happened the last time I just put in a new GM 300 and problem was solved. They were each in service about a year and a half before this happened. Has anyone experienced the same issue? I have the previous gm300 here with me, but I have not done any digging to see what has failed. The one that¡¯s on the repeater now is still up there till I can find time to go up there and swap it out with something else or get to the bottom of this.. any help is appreciated.
