G'day,
Looking for specs on this amplifier: http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pa2modhi7.jpg http://img484.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pa1modzp8.jpg Don't know much at this stage, apart from 4Watts drive (@ 430-480MHz)= approx. 150W output, draws well over 30A from my poor struggling power supply. I'm not game to up the drive any further until I know the specs! Basically any specs or any info at all would be great, thanks in advance. Cheers, |

Cheers, Let's take a wild guess here, you want to use it on the UHf Chook Band to talk into the 5 w output repeaters, if that's the case, and I do hope I'm wrong, you'd be better off with a decent antenna system, Cheers, Warren |

Been a few years, but looks like a PA out of either a MSR2000 or MSF5000 repeater. In any case, I'd say you were overdriving it with 4 watts, as indicated by the 150 watts out. Its probably a 100 or 110 watt amplifer. I believe that most Motorola exciters for such amplifiers put out either 1 watt or possibly 2 watts. Ed K7AAT |

Welcome to aus.radio.scanner, please feel free to ask any other questions
that are not related to the topic of the newsgroup. I'd suggest joining www.batlabs.com and ask on there if you want to know technical specs, whilst there are some people in this newsgroup who actually know what they are talking about in relation to the technical side of Radios. I am not one and there are a large portion of people who response with smart ass remarks Andrew "Jesco White" wrote in message news:pan.2006.12.01.01.30.53.23141@jesco...

G'day Ed, The general consensus is that it did indeed come from an MSF5000, I started a thread over at batlabs just prior to posting to these groups, which has paid off somewhat (see: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopi...&unwatch=topic ) but now of course there is also some conflicting info in the replies... info on Motorola gear can be hard to find! I'll play it safe and keep it below 3W until I get definite confirmation of the specs being different. Cheers |

I have no problem with that to be honest, MUCH more preferable than censorship or 'moderation'. Thanks for your suggestion batlabs, I did post a question there on this matter prior to posting to these groups. I have received a few good replies, but still seeking those elusive specifications.

Just to **** you off, Warren. state exactly what your using it for and post in the appropiare group. No. I'm just looking for the specs. That was my query. Can you define what in your view is an "appropiare" group? IF you bothered to check the headers, you will see that the OP was sent to: aus.radio.amateur.misc, aus.radio.cb, aus.radio.scanner, rec.radio.amateur.equipment If you believe you know of more "appropiare" groups, or just wish to drop all pretence and continue developing this into an argument, please enlighten us all, cheers. |

You seem to be the one pushing for an argument, I just can't see why you would bother posting in CB and Scanner groups, Mate, these groups are inhabited by radio enthusiasts whose interests don't necessarily begin or end with Amateur radio, CB radio or scanning. Had I posted with robot-like compliance, I wouldn't have posted the question at all, since there is no news group for Motorola commercial equipment. I could use your same logic to not even post it to any of the amateur radio groups as well. I think you really do understand why it posted to these groups, it's just common sense. I wondered before originally posting whether I'd hear from some pedants, sure enough I did. Oh well, par for the course isn't it... Some people don't necessarily read whatever groups you feel are more appropriate, hence cross-posting to a range of radio related groups. All I was asking for were the specifications of a piece of radio equipment, nothing more. But some will never miss an opportunity, no matter how petty, to have a go at someone over the flimsiest of pretexts. have look here, http://www.eserviceinfo.com/ there is a lot of Motorola stuff there, Thanks for the link Warren, will check it out. |
Any Motorola techs in here?
The general consensus is that it did indeed come from an MSF5000, I started a thread over at batlabs just prior to posting to these groups, which has paid off somewhat (see: http://batboard.batlabs.com/viewtopi...&unwatch=topic ) but now of course there is also some conflicting info in the replies... info on Motorola gear can be hard to find! I'll play it safe and keep it below 3W until I get definite confirmation of the specs being different. Cheers Good idea. I worked on Motorola, etc, for the past 35 years, up to and including MSF5000 UHF like you have. Best I can recollect, never had an PA that took more than 1 or 2 watts drive..... I could be wrong, maybe.... its been a couple years. Ed |

Hello Jasco , I'm going to do something I don't do very often and that is apologise for jumping to conclusions, I must admit when I read your original posting I thought, here we go again, some UHf CBer wanting info on a very high powered Amp, so he can stomp on every one else, for that I do apologise, in my role as an emergency monitor I get quite a few of the power heads deliberately interfering with the emergency repeaters which I monitor daily, I have even had dead set deliberate interference during actual emergency calls and whilst in contact with the Police Comms Centre, as in, microphone in one hand and the phone in the other, the Police couldn't believe what they heard, so I tend to get a bit touchy when it comes to very high power on UHf CB. now back to the Amp, I see on the circuit board there is JAS marked in several places, I'm wondering if this is the manufactures identification, if so you might get some info from this mob, Jas Commerical Printers Products : Printed circuit boards Address : 38, Bombay Talkies Compound,, Somwari Bazar, N. B. Road, Malad West,,Mumbai-400064.Maharashtra. Send : On-Line Trade Inquiry http://www.easy2source.com/directory..._id=0&Len t=3 I ran a search on the net and came up with that mob, with a bit of luck they may be the manufactures and should have the info you require, wether the buggers will give the info is another thing , once again sorry for ****ing you off, Cheers, Warren |

The following info has nothing to do with Motorola , but I recently purchased a Philips 828 back end (25 Watt PA from 828 radio) which has been modded so as to run a hand held 2 Mtr , there was no info available with it regarding input power, and me being a silly bugger didn't think to ask the bloke I bought it from :-) ( Hamfest ), so at first I set the h/h to 5 W max, the amp output was 25W, then I set the radio to low power, 0.5 W , the output was then 20 W, so I came to the conclusion to run it at low power 0.5 W, as that would most probably be the safe input power, 5 W input only raised the output by around 5 W not worth potentially blowing the driver or something major, unless of course the driver had been changed to a more robust type ?, in your case, maybe try at 1W then say 3W and see what the output difference is , if it's only 5 or 10 W on higher input power of 3 W its probably safe to run it at 1 W input, Cheers, Warren |

Had I posted with robot-like compliance, I wouldn't have posted the question at all, since there is no news group for Motorola commercial equipment. I could use your same logic to not even post it to any of the amateur radio groups as well. Actually, now that I think about it, your question would best be posted on the moderated Yahoo group for professionals in the Land Mobile Radio industry..... LMR. http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/LMR/ You WILL get a decent and accurate answer to your question there. Ed K7AAT |

Cheers, Let's take a wild guess here, you want to use it on the UHf Chook Band to talk into the 5 w output repeaters, if that's the case, and I do hope I'm wrong, you'd be better off with a decent antenna system, WRONG, I plan to cause havoc on the remaining analog police repeaters- ya idiot. There's more to the UHF band than CB radio you know. You better be CAREFUL as I will dob you into Simone Templar. I bet that has him wetting himself and quaking in his uggies. LOL, quite. Amazing isn't it - cannot discuss power amplifiers in these Aussie groups without the usual knee-jerk assumptions, irrespective of being perfectly within the law to own and use in an appropriate manner. Apparently no Hams here use amplifiers I guess. May have something to do with the fact that you posted into a CB newsgroup???????????? You might want to learn more about interpreting Usenet headers before trying and failing to flame in a successful manner. Good luck with that.

You see, I bet, and this is just a guess mind you, that the part of the headers that solicited a comment was: "Newsgroups: aus.radio.amateur.misc,aus.radio.cb,aus.radio.scan ner,rec.radio.amateur.equipment" And in particular: "aus.radio.cb" Seeing as most people posting in this group about high powered UHF gear are actually referring to high powered UHF CB equipment..... The fact that you posted no indication that you were seeking info for Amateur operation but did refer to the frequency range being up to 480MHz, again within the scope of UHF CB, probably only strengthened that fear... But that's just my opinion, after all I'm still learning to read Usenet headers........................................... |

Not a problem, I hate usenet as no one shows any respect for each other.
take a look at the **** that goes in within this newsgroup I generally use usenet or a forum when I want to find an answer, not post a question and get a ****load of smart ass responses I know i'm going to get flammed for saying this but I don't give a **** Andrew "Jesco White" wrote in message news:pan.2006.12.04.02.00.37.838167@jesco...

It's a radio related group. Some who subscribe to ARS do not subscribe to other related groups and vic-versa. I'd suggest joining www.batlabs.com and ask on there if you want to know technical specs, whilst there are some people in this newsgroup who actually know what they are talking about in relation to the technical side of Radios. I am not one and there are a large portion of people who response with smart ass remarks Well, that is Usenet - uncensored and therefore you get the full spectrum of human behaviour. I have no problem with that to be honest, MUCH more preferable than censorship or 'moderation'. Thanks for your suggestion batlabs, I did post a question there on this matter prior to posting to these groups. I have received a few good replies, but still seeking those elusive specifications.
