[Motorola] Was Encoder, Now MICOR and Channel Elements....

[Johnjewkes at aol.com]

Sad but true, one of the MARS members in Ohio confirmed CEH is gone, having  
sold all their components to ICM, due to cost of stuff.... Oh Well... But now 
i  have info... and no I guess reading up on these military monster Micors 
they are  actually 30 channels and do a simplex or duplex switching to do '60' 
channels.  (IE 1 is duplexed (one tx, one rx frequency) Channel two is simplexed 
(TX/RX on  same frequency from channel 1). I am not sure how they would do 
this one either,  since the frequency conversion for TX and RX is different 
looking at the math, I  don't quite get it...
 
Big heavy drawer units, about twice the size of commercial micors I have  had 
in the past, the receivers are 142-153 MHz already, and most had first  
frequency of 148.650 currently in the MARS pool, formerly in the USAF pool. None  
have the heads, but all have the cables, power cords and are ALL 100 Watt 
units.  Mounting instructions deal with mounting them inside of mobile comm 
shelters. No  mention of operating in jeeps, cars etc... Wondering if I could use a  
controller, one radio for transmitter the other for receiver since I always 
seem  to have problems once I add hot power to both TX/RX during conversion.... 
 
TNX though... I guess I will get them from ICM/BoMar...anyone have their  
contact info???

Then I would have to agree, as I believe all of the places  like "Channel 
Element Headquarters" are no longer in  business.
