[MRCA] MRCA Digest, Vol 231, Issue 26

Mon Jul 17 18:30:28 EDT 2023

Good evening.  I recently acquired a BC-659H VHF Radio.  The condition looks great, and it appears that it was working at one time, or someone was trying to get it working.  Is there someone in the group that does repairs on these types of radios?I look forward to hearing from you.Dave

Been using just one half of the amplifier, two panels and that comes out as a signal N connector on the back of the amplifier frame. But now that I am getting the other half of the amplifier up and running will need to connect the original external RF combiner network external of the amplifier and that has type C connectors. Don?t know what I did with the original cables but will have to have matching cables from each set of amplifiers and matching adapters to keep everything in phase. Have a couple adapters now for the output and rejection load.
