Crystals for TEKK KS-960 Transceiver
I recently obtained a TEKK KS-960 Transceiver for 70 cm 9600 baud packet. I
need to change the crystals so that it will operate on a different frequency. It doesn't look like TEKK is still making these radios. Even though the radio came with the service manual, I do not see any specs on the crystals. Does anyone know the type of crystals involved for the TEKK KS-960 radio and how I can calculate the frequency for the XMIT and RCVE crystals? Around here folks are using 433.100+. I do not know why there are using a split frequency. You can have different XMIT and RCVE frequencies in the KS-960 but it is not designed for full duplex. 73's Rob |

Likely using split frequencies for a digital repeater. We have 4 of them in the Pacfic Northwest, 3 operational on UHF, the one on VHF we lost the repeater council coordination so it is sitting idle. Our repeater council expires corrdinations after 5 years, repeater on the air or not if not renewed for a fee. Gary K8IZ Washington State Resident Registered Linux User # 312991 |

I will contact JAN crystals and see if they know the type of crystals and frequency needed for the TEKK KS-960 transceiver. Yes, I suspect 433.100+ Mhz is for some sort of repeater. But I don't know whether it is still around. I am still trying to find out whether there is any 70 cm packet activity left here in Ottawa, Canada. Since I have two of these TEKK radios. (I got two for the price of one). I may be the only one on 9600 baud packet. hi If my suspicion is correct and there is no digital repeater on 433.100+ Mhz, I am probably better off getting crystals for simplex operation. Do you know what are the more popular frequencies on 70 cm for simplex 9600 baud packet? Rob |

All of my 9600 operation is through a digital repeater here. Make sure you set the deviation for no more that 3 KHz. Gary K8IZ Washington State Resident Registered Linux User # 312991 |
