Attn Jonsey re PCS4000 mem battery
Jonesy,
Ref replaceing the built in nicad in the PCS4000 to retain the mem chnls. I would never be able to find that small ni-cad type cell, so instead I removed the strange 3 stack and routed two wires externally to a standard lion wireless ph battery. They are kinda expensive at about $19 at walmart, but the idead worked out great. The lion will probably last a lot longer than any form of NI-cAD anyway. Its 3 cells about size of a 3 AA batteries with little white clip on them. Made sure I got all the +'s and -'s wired correctly. Now it holds the memory like as if it was brand new. One more thing however. You said to do a wide spread offset like 142.150 (up) and 143.450 (down) on the AFMARS voice repeater I am still working on that. You said put the up fqcy in A chnl slot 1 and the down freqcy in B chnl slot 1 then switch to A-B to get the proper spred. Correct me if I am wrong. Joe (aka kilroy) email is valid so can email aidred if you wish. ************************************************** ******** * Ham KH6JF AARS/MARS ABM6JF QCWA WW2 VET WD RADIO SYSTEM* * Army MARS PRECEDED by AARS (Army Amateur Radio System) * * Hi State ARMY MARS COORDINATOR * ************************************************** ******** b |

I'm glad you worked out a solution. One more thing however. You said to do a wide spread offset like 142.150 (up) and 143.450 (down) on the AFMARS voice repeater I am still working on that.

I never had a need for non-600 kcs splits. 73 Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | jonz | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | OS/2 __ 38.24N 104.55W | config.com | DM78rf | SK |

Anyhow seems reasonable that on odd splits you would use both a and b groups otherwise can see no other way to do odd splits which are quite common on MARS systems. Joe |
