Re: Repeater Power Supply

[S V G <vsyevolod@yahoo.com>]

     Stephen,

     Okay, my first paragraph, though a little sardonic, has a smiley face 
at the end which means
"don't get your panties in a twist, this is just a lame attempt at humor".

     The second paragraph was chock full of useful information.  If indeed 
you are looking to find
a power supply for the Repeater, why not go straight to the main Electrix 
Authorized Repair
Facility in the U.S. (Condor Electronics) and get one from them?  They are 
doing exactly what you
suggest, find a power supply that matches the basic requirements, modify 
it with a few extra parts
so that it does what it needs to do for the Repeater safely, and sell it 
at cost as a service to
the looping community.  The owner of Condor Electronics is a Repeater user 
himself (and a good
friend) and he really is selling these "at cost".  And do check out the 
Repeater Users group on
Yahoo groups.  There is more good info there than you can shake a stick 
at.  The guy from Condor
pokes his head in from time to time with some very astute observations 
about the innards of the
Repeater.

     Be well,

         Stephen



     Stephen offered:
