You seem upset, your CB still in the repair shop? Bummer. Sc |

New SkyWave 2879ABTC almost ready to fire up...

wrote in m: Lancer wrote: Please explain your multiplexed keying capabilities... Aside from the usual COR (carrier operated relay) switching, the multiplexed keying capability is designed into the SkyWave 2879AB (and soon to be released 2879ABTC). It allows the user to "hard" key the amplifier as soon as the mic button is pushed... regardless of what mode they're transmitting in, with no additional wiring. This is done with a simple modification to the radio. Email me, and I will send you the information in the form of a PDF file. Instead of unbalancing your balanced modulator (and thus defeating two of the benefits of SSB), why not run a key line along side the coax? After all, you gotta connect the two with coax anyway, right? Just use the external speaker jack to route it out the radio. Or, if the extra wire is too expensive, how about modifying the radio to superimpose a DC keying signal onto the coax that can be detected by the amp? Even better, and since most amps are mounted close to the radio, how about including a couple mic jacks in the amp; one for the mic and the other for a patch cable between the amp and the radio's mic jack? The latter could even be used with the hard-line remote keying system mentioned earlier. All are much better solutions than detuning the radio. |

Sure, use the mike connector, I have this interface anyways for packet radio (digital), cost only 3 connectors and 1 meter wire. But then he needs different connectors for different types of sets. And it takes some soldering. Could sell it as : Adapter, gold plated? adapters is big business..... Well I think that anyways after I have seen a gold plated audio cable for 100$ in a shop here ;-) |

New SkyWave 2879ABTC Prototype Working Well...
Well, finished the testing of the temperature compensated biasing on
the new amplifier. It works as well as the original "hay-wired" prototype I first made. I think the cicuit is very repeatable. I was able to hold a 500mA collector current bias to +/-50mA from -30 to +85C. Without the compensation, the variance over that temperature range is about 4 to 5 Amps. I'm now in the process of evaluating the RF performance... and then some life testing. If anyone is curious... the preliminary specs are available for viewing at http://www.telstar-electronics.com/S...202879ABTC.pdf www.telstar-electronics.com |

Is your "multiplexed switching" another way of referring to a phantom wired TR line, IOW: a DC control link superimposed on the coax, isolated by coils? Seems like an invitation to problems if anything happens to the interface section. Suggestion - Use the other two connectors on the 4-pin Jones Plug to interface the TR control link thereby keeping the DC away from the RF connections. I have been using this scheme for many years... and have other customers also running the multiplexed DC signal. I have never experienced... or heard of any issues with that arrangement from my customers. It works just fine and eliminates having to run additional wiring from the transmitter to amp for people that aren't satisfied with just using the COR switching. www.telstar-electronics.com |

I've been to that with my UHF and microwave amplifiers for years, external keying. SC |
