Wanting to install my dell laptop in my new Chevy Colorado crew cab. I know a few of you guys are dealers. I like the gamber johnson, but am open to ideas. Reply here, email, or PM me with details. TIA Railey Edit Does no one make a mount for the crew cab? Or is it that no one is interested? I am a ...

They will not interchange all the time. I have 3 different I90 install kits and two are the same and the third is TOTALLY different. I also have a kit for a I58 it is different than my any of my I 90 kits. However I think that in the recent past the kits have been more or less standardized. If the k...

Other thought is, they screwed it up one time they'll probably do it again. Next time just tell them to F##K off

Just a thought. Maybe put them in small claims court instead of spending the money on an attorney. I am unsure of the $ limit in CA, but you might be able to accomlish something without a whole lot of cash out. It's only like 60$ here in FL (been a while though)

If nobody does this before I get home tomorrow (nursing clinicals) I will look in my MSF 5000 book and see if the numbers match. aww hell gimme a minute according to my MSF book it is a 500 watt out 60 Hz 110 volt in w battery revert. it'll give you anywhere from 13.1 to 16.1 (IIRC) and about 35 amp...

With use of the PC Magazine "registryrobot", NTFS file system, and judicious modification of the "default user" profile it should be possible to COMPLETELY lock down a dispatcher profile. By lock down I mean you boot the machine, log on, your dispatch program starts, and that is ...

Update!!!!

I'm playing around with a program called registryrobot. Although I haven't explored all of the options it's looks pretty promising.

You can download it from pc magazine

I'll post more as I play with it.

I don't THINK there is a legal restriction on height. I think it is a $$$ and engineering problem.

I am no expert, but would 15 watts make THAT much of a difference in a system? As far as the FCC goes do you have a letter authorizing you to transmit on freqs, from the county (or whoever is the license holder)? If so unless they have a provision in the letter for revokation/ notify you that your b...

What I am going to say might piss your IT guys of! They need to buy a book. It is possible to lock ANY windoz system down tight enough so that the only thing a user can do is run 1 (ONE) program.

IF (big if) I understand correctly then basically the MSF has a duplexer it is just split in to two parts. (I realize that is an oversimplification bear with me) The receive side of the duplexer is actually part of the rf tray correct? The transmit side of the duplexer is the pre and post filtering ...

srefurd

OK so how far apart can the frequencies be? I'm thinking that there have to be some limitations due to the selectivity of the front end? Are there any restrictions? As far a channel spacing etc.

srefurd

This might sound stupid BUT: What is the purpose of having multiple channels in a MSF 5000? If your receiver is tuned and with all of the filtering on transmit can you actually put different freqs in the radio? Or is it that they just have to be so close together within X of a center freq? I have re...

Bob I am an amateur so don't jump down my throat for asking this. Do you have the VCO locking devices turned to the operate position? This was stupid of me, but when I first plugged up I had forgot to move them from transit to operate and in the first 15 minutes the unit got a lot warmer than after ...

How long are you wanting to operate on backup power? Are planning on preserving the integrity of the case? (gonna run with the case open or closed?)

I agree with wavetar. I plugged my msf up last night and it didn't take but about 30 minutes or so for the rf deck to get warm to the touch. Now about 15 hours later the deck is still about the same temp. So maybe it is going to get x above ambient no matter what temp or where it is. Within limits o...

I'm glad I'm not the only one to read it that way Nand!

I have got my MSF plugged in (for about 5 hours). It doesn't transmit unless keyed. The top of the RF deck it warm to the touch. Not hot by any stretch, but I will check it again in the morning, and let ya'll know.

srefurd

Bob how long did you have it plugged in before you noticed the heat? Reason I ask it that I have a MSF low power unit on my bench right now that I would be willing to power up and see If I get the same results. Let me know If I need to do this. Although mine is inside I could still tell you if somet...

I would be willing to bet that it is a strobe system. The long strobe at night, and quick flash in the day. I read something a coupla of days ago about a system that had to run two lighting systems. A strobe during the day, and incandescent at night. This was after they tried a 1800$ for a "RF ...

I realize that this might not be the problem, but has anyone tried the programs Mo-slow or slow-down? I had excellent results programming maxons on a fast computer. It could help[ slow down a 486 slow enough to do the job.

If you need it I have a copy of slow down if you want it.

I plan on using a polyphaser mounted on a ground window. I was thinking about the harmonics that come off of a bolt.

So basically on the 6 watt unit with the pa chassis with nothing in it but the circulator I can just take that out right? I need to install a circulator in the system between my pa and the duplexer to prevent damage from close in lightning strikes but thats about it, right? Bob that is what I though...

srefurd

Am I correct in thinking that the Circulator (in the PA assembly) would handle somewhere in the neighborhood of 40 watts?

I could then go to the duplexer and out to the antenna port (removing the relay). If I wanted to keep it all inside the housing?

antenna tx/rx relay? My thinking is that I can put a small continous duty pa in between the IPA and the circulator (contained in the pa chassis, cause there is no pa in the chassis) out to a duplexer and then the antenna port.

Not an expert or anything but Amphenol lists Neill and Concealman (SP) in the descriptions of the connectors on their web site. You'd think if anyone knows they would.
