Routine check - repeaked TX back to 34 watts at 150 m/A. (POSN 6 - 30 M/A (Output was 30 watts at 145 m/A.) |
VE3NB |

Installed blower fan and moved 5A Automatic reset into air stream. TX = 35 watts & 150 m/A |
VE3NB |
|
|
Found fan not working (replaced unit with small fan temporary) May have been cause of noise bursts on receiver. |

REPEATER CUTTING OUT, THERMAL CUTOUT REMOVED, STILL FAULTY TAKEN OFF AIR 20,00 hrs |

Control panel overhauled. Timer lengthened to 2 1/2 mins. Tone decoder now also cuts out ale ident cct. Control panel installed. AF Plate lead re-soldered. COR cct adjusted. Rcvr slightly off freq - reset to 146.340 |

Noisy - causing TX to hold at times. N.T.F. but tightenedup squelch a little |

All tubes tested - replaced 5 bad tubes. 3 in TX. 2 in RX. Rcvr lined up by Art VE3AHU |

1230 P. Repeater off - TX squealing caused by T1 xformer. - removed to place 10 uu capacitors across Pri and Sec of T1. - VE3AHU |

12 Noon Back on OK. Peaked Rx. TX OK 35 watts at 150 m/A, T1 xformer replaced. added 6 capacitors across T1, T2, L3, L4. and repeaked TX. |

Squeal at times from TX found PA Plate off resonance again to 200 m/A. Repeak P.A plate tuning back to 150 m/A. Detuned TIA P and S very slightly also. (Wonder if 2E26 is OK?) |
VE3NB |
|
|
added new fan and put small fan below 829B final. Replaced 829B due to varying plate current, also 2E26. Output 35W at 150 m/A. |

Low TX output 5 watts Defective 2E26. Replaced Output 36 W at 150 m/A OK |

unable to trigger repeater at times. Found C.O.R locked up. Switched off control unit & trouble clear when restored. TX. OK. Probably due to heat (95o) - Left both doors open Removed I.D & beacon timer |
VE3NB |
|
|
100o+ in Pent house - C.O.R will not release - put small fan at rear of cct boards & seem OK Replaced 7V7.V2 - was dead. TX OK |
VE3NB |
|
|
I.D & Beacon back on OK - repaired by Art VE3AHU. Large fan installed with 90 sec delay timer ( + 6 sec delay after TX goes off) 35 watts output |
VE3NB |
|
|
Rptr off. Due to operated Tone receiver. Intermittent power line QRN causing false operation, coming in from RX ant. Appears to be trouble in Tone decoder unit Removed for repair. Put on disable for time being. (Increased TX output to 40 watts at 165 m/A, may give better coverage North) |

|
Vibration from big fan causing a microphonic noise in RX or TX. Moved fan and put cardboard under it. Had a vist from Roy VE3FVI and John VE3GOX re- Ingleside repeater |
VE3NB |

|
Replaced squirral cage fan with multifin fan mtd centrally in cabinet. Cavities removed to give more clearance between door & fan Xmtr put on freq with DANA cavities. |

Erratic operation at times - found 829B 250m/A Plate current & 0 grid current. Replaced & OK. added a third small fan also |
VE3NB |
|
|
Erratic operation due to AC reset getting too hot +100o at least at times and cutting off TX. found 829B in trouble plate current goes up & grid drive goes down. Replaced 829B. Removed sheild from P.A. & put a small fan to blow on P.A. 35 watts at 150 m/A. Slight desensetization. |

No output from TX. No reading on POSN 3. Tapped V1-V2 tubes and trouble cleared out. |
VE3NB |
|
|
Rx front end adjusted with good effect. New tubes in Cathode Flr stage, AF Amp & Phase Mod stages in xmtr. Levl of Code ID increased. All reports "fb" |
VE3NB |

Right hand 1/2 of 829B glows very red during operation. Replaced 2 - 5MMF capacitors in base of 829B. These are neutralizing capacitors to clip on each side of 829 on glass envelope near plates of tube. This helped a bit but still some red. (150 m/A at 35 watts) Desensitaitization on receiver. Output power does not seem to help. |
|
|
|
Repeaked TX to reduce desensiltation a bit |
VE3NB |
|
|
TX not right. P.A. plate current goes off scale when on for a long time. Some RX desensitization. Repeaked TX for best but will have to change final housing. Output about 25 watts |
