Output amplifier in older broadcast console
Not sure if I'm posting in correct area, so here goes... I have a Harris Stereo 80 broadcast console, from the late seventies area, and I'm trying to feel my way around learning about it. I have two amplifier modules (Left Program, Left Monitor) that somehow "smoked" (little whiff of white...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
I have two dispatchers, and from what I was told, each has a pair of wires--one for incoming, one for outgoing. And yes, that's the only tones that come down to me...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
Thanks fellows for tips and all... I forgot to mention that this is not a very complicated or sophisticated type of deal. Nothing going on but conversation, just like a phone call, only having the tones as a way to alert us to the incoming "call". Nothing else goes on...I really wouldn't t...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
Oh wow, again...I can "see" how it is working now, by your description...I love this stuff, just wished I had more knowledge of it, but too many things on my plate in other areas...this one is so important at the moment, because it affects me and my fellow workers during our shifts. We get...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
wow! Thanks so much for the investment of your time. And yes, it would be much easier I'm sure to come off that LED in the box...http://forum.servomagazine.com/posting.php?mode=reply&f=1&t=15207&sid=1bfddbbfcd1d56efdfe5c2fe13374d47# and I just might suggest it to the techs and see what t...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
This "add-on" would be sensing for two different dispatchers. But again, each has one phone wire at a point on a punch-down panel where I'd get access to the incoming signal for either one. Hmmm..that brings me to another point. There are times when both would be trying to tone me up at th...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
Sorry Kev for the slight...but as Robert mentioned, due to space constraints it would not be feasible on this unit.

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
Man, I like this stuff...getting inspired again... Just found out that my incoming tones are DTMF (#3#), but was told to remember that a "600 ohm iso transformer" would be needed to keep from "loading down the line"...Also was told that a tone decoder is necessary, and that there...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
I like where you are going with this, but for some reason (I may be completely off on this one) I think this set-up we have/had is more simple than that. From what I can tell, a lot of equipment that is used in our "area" is very dated, many times obsolete. But our talented team of techs s...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
I'm thinking that it would be something easy to attach to the inbound line that rests in the punch panel...I think that after all return to work after the holiday, then I can ask specific questions on the workings of it. For instance, what are these three "tones" that come down the wire to...

Re: guidance for "alert" circuit
Questions- 1) Does the new console reset alarms once communication is established (as did the old one)? 2) Do you have access to the interior of the new console? 3) Do you have authorization to rework the internal circuitry? 4) If denied the above, do you have access to the incoming lines and author...

guidance for "alert" circuit
At my worksite, I have a Radio Control Console that I use; in it, I have two feeds where I have direct communication with a person working two hours away from me (thru phone lines). Each "feed" is a pair of lines; one for receive, and one for transmit. When the person on the other end is n...

Want to "convert" RV heat...
Well, here's another in my long line of quests that are pretty-much nonsensical... I'd like to change the furnace in my RV (1987) to something electric. Or at least when it's parked at home, I could use this other system and plug up to another complete circuit running from my house, as I tend to hav...
