Vertex VXR-9000U DCS Turn Off Code Timing

OK - Using a Vertex VXR-9000U UHF repeater with a variety of Motorola HT's and Mobiles. I seem to have got the turn off code phase(120) and timing (200ms) right in the Vertex CE60 programing but still am able to hear in the motorola receiver(using an XTS5000 as a test radio) the actual 134Hz turn of...

Re: KENWOOD TK 715 ON 2MTRS

I found this on a google search - doesn't seem like they would be a 2mtr conversion candidate.

Re: IC-208H Adjustment Mode Test Jig

Confirmed the correct value resistor is 22K ohm and NOT 2.2K ohm. Once I put this in place the radio goes into adjust mode perfectly per the service manual procedure.

IC-208H Adjustment Mode Test Jig

Per the sevice manual on page 5-2 I built the test jig using the correct 2.2K ohm resistor. Confirmed all connections but can not get the radio into adjustment mode. The freq is off by -1.5Khz and I need to warp it back on freq. I used the correct procedure on page 5-1 by pushing & holding the S...

Re: S825 Control Head Audio Amp failure?

Hi Group, Turned on the S825 control unit I have in the truck today and I have EXTREMELY low audio (like you have to put your ear to the speaker to hear it), even at full volume. Nothing has changed in the install, there are no shorts, etc. Do these things have an audio PA in them that goes bad? I ...

Anyone know of a tool to remove the older circular common(kenwood, icom, yeasu,etc.) 8 pin mic jack in all the older model radios? I usually us a pair of fine needle nose pliers but the radio on my bench has one machine tight and I simply can not get it off and it appears I can only get it off with ...

Re: What search terms do you use?

If I am looking for a specific model mostly manufacture names combined with model numbers - IE: "IFR" "1900CSA" I will also work variations of model numbers - such as eliminating the csa above and just enter 1900. If I want to cruise through just the manufacture then I just enter...

Re: Milcom 220Mhz RF Amps

Yes - thanks. The amp works flawlessly, still have it at the shop. Ran my last test with a 25.5VDC 25A supply and with 150mw input got about 95 Watts clean output. I will eventually install in my rack at the site but I will have to take the entire rack apart and move everything around to get it to f...

Re: Forum Re-Alignment and Additions

Looks great Alex.

Only thing I would suggest is under "Amateur" and "Commercial" is putting "Other" to accomodate
other manufactures, as an example such as Alinco which does not seem to fit any where.

Re: Milcom 220Mhz RF Amps - Update

Bringing back this older thread for an update. I finally got a hold of a NewMar 24VDC 16 Amp supply and did some preliminary bench testing today. With 150mW input into this amplifier I got 75W out of the directional coupler on the output. I bypassed the directional coupler and got approx 87W on the ...

Re: some better photos of this radio

Howard - it looks like a Vertex FTL-7011 UHF conventional radio or similar.
There is usually a model/sn tag on the (radio facing you) right side towards
the back on the heat sink. Sometimes they get stripped off.
