SIMPLEX REPEATER ! !
NO NO
DUPLEXER DUPLEXER
NEEDED NEEDED
ALL YOU NEED IS THE SR3 A SIMPLEX RADIO

AND A SIMPLEX FREQUENCY
SIMPLEX REPEATER MODE

In simplex repeater (SR) mode the SR3 will automatically record and playback a
message. When the SR3 detects a carrier it will begin to digitally record the audio
being received by the radio you have connected it to. When the carrier drops, the
SR3 stops recording, and key's the radio (PTT) and transmits the audio it just recorded.
This allows two or more mobiles to have a simplex conversation, when they are not in
range of one another, but in range of the simplex repeater site.
VOICE MAIL MODE

When the SR3 is in voice mail mode, it can record and save a message for another
station to retrieve at a later time when they come on the air. Retrieving a message
can be accomplished by either entering DTMF command or pressing the PTT button.
A message can be replayed as many times as desired.
REPEATER IDer MODE

The SR3 can be connected to a repeater as a voice ID er. It has a built in timer
adjustable from approximately 10 seconds to 20 minutes. You can configure it to u s e
it's built-in timer, or use your repeater force the ID. With the use of SR3's built in
DT�y1F decoder, you can easily change your ID message from any mobile radio at any
time.
INTRODUCTORY PRICE $329 INCLUDES PL DECODER

$229 requires cor signal from radio.
Maximum message length is 64 seconds (with all 4 SRAM chips installed). SR3 comes
with 1 SRAM chip installed· with 16 seconds of message time. Each additional chip will
hold an additional 16 seconds of audio.
Dimensions: 10.5" wide, 6" deep" 1.75"high
Voltage Supply l 1.6VDC to 15VDC @ 200ma.

This book is intended to be used as a reference guide for licensed
Technicians. The text for each modification has been written with
belief that the performing technician has experience with servicing
modern radio equipment.
Attempts to perform these modifications by an inexperienced person

may cause serious damage to the radio. Damage can occur by simply
opening the radio case incorrectly. With the average repair cost of a
damaged radio exceeding $ 1 50 .00, it is a good investment paying a
licensed technician to perform the modification.
Some of the modifications presented in this book have not been

tested. However, most of the modifications have been, at one time
or another, reviewed by the technicians at the radio manufacturing
or distributing plants.
The authors have made every attempt to present all the available
modifications. As new radios and modifications become available,
they will be added to the next publication. Outside contributions are
accepted for review.
Some of the modifications presented in this publication may allow a

radio to operate outside its design range. Using a radio outside of its
designed range may cause radio interference, equipment d amage or
may simply be illegal. If you have any concerns about the validity of
the modification, or the purpose for a modified radio, do not perform
the modification. Use your best judgement.
The exact Frequency range of a radio is almost impossible to predict.

The tuning of the coils and VCO/VXO circuits can vary the range u p
o r down 5- 1 0 MHz. Most radios can range a total of 20 MHz.
A number of useful graphs, charts and tables are provided m the

a p pendices.
Technicians are welcome to forward comments, suggestion and new

modifications.

TRICKLE MODE
This modification will allow you to select the amount of time used to fast charge your
battery pack. The standard NC-29 will fast charge a battery for five hours and then
switch to trickle charge every time a battery is inserted, even if the battery is fully
charged.
This modification will provide a push button to speed up the I nternal clock. By pressing
the button, you can watch the time remaining LEDs on the panel and select the amount of
full charging time.
1 . Unplug the charger for the AC power

2. Locate I C 002. see drawing
