Repeater News 24v conversion, and a GIANT buffalo
Tuesday, 12 July 2011 12:34

Saturday was a day that showed that preparation is just as much a part of the job as the actual work.

It was a busy day Saturday, but all the planing and behind the scenes work we put in paid off in a big big way.

Even the buffalo and spiders were not just big out there....they were HUGE!!! Ask anyone who was out there about that!

Early Saturday morning we went to the island repeater site.
We were able to get the batteries installed, and changed over the solar and battery system to 24v.
We had been getting some readings where the solar controller was reaching it's max. of 60 amps, so converting to 24v will help out there.

We created a new power and ground distribution system in the rack to support both the 24 and 12 volts. Installed 2 new 24 to 12 converters, (installed for redundancy)
Installed a new resistor for the D/A converter for the repeater controller to read the 24 volts from.

It went very very well, we had few glitches, and I am very pleased with how it all turned out.

Thanks for everyone's help,w7jof,w7cwk,n7dnd,kc7qqr,kc7ctr...thanks for all your help Saturday.
And thanks to Hall for reprogramming the voltage readout in the repeater controller on Sunday night.

Thanks again everyone for all your help and support!
