Before you unpack the repeater... 

Take a minute to note how the unit 

is packed.  If you should ever need to 
return the unit for service at some 
time in the future, you must be able 
to pack it properly.  Should you ever 
reship your repeater, you will need all 
the packing material which came with 
the unit.  We recommend you find a 
safe spot in your attic to store the 
carton and padding.   

 

Before you turn on power... 

Don't change any control settings.  

Don't adjust anything until you read 
the rest of this instruction manual 
and the OPERATION manual. 

Note that shock and vibration in 

shipping can cause problems when 
any unit is first powered up. 

 

Intermittent problems which may not 
have been evident at the factory can 
easily show up after bouncing around 
for thousands of miles.  If you 
encounter any problems with your 
unit, please call and we will get you 
squared away promptly. 

One problem which can happen is 

that the compression mica variable 
capacitors in the pa may change 
settings due to vibration.  We seal the 
screws, but you may have to repeak 
the capacitors for maximum output if 
the power level is low. 

Please check the VSWR of the an-

tenna system and the power output of 
the transmitter before operating the 
unit for any length of time.  The pa 
can be damaged if operated in a 
detuned or misloaded condition for 
very long.   

Note that it often is necessary to 

retune the output capacitors (big mica 
variables on vhf units) on the repeater 
PA module to match the antenna 
system you have.  Repeaters are fussy 
about being tuned properly to avoid 
desense.

  We highly recommend you 

repeak just the two output 

capacitors, using a good wattmeter 

in line with the transmitter output 

cable.  This is especially necessary 

with the 25-30 output option on 

two meter units because the PA 

transistor has a lot of gain and can 
oscillate if mistuned.  

If you notice 

desense, it often helps to change the 
length of the coax between the output 
of the repeater and the duplexer.
