Quantar important part numbers
Posted: Sat Mar 26, 2005 1:00 pm
Since there seems to be enuf confusion on the matter, I am going to submit this list to try to help those of you out there who are trying to ID the band/range on used quantars.
As you know (or should know) - all quantar repeaters are labelled with "T5365" - this is the generic model # - and short of reading the codeplug, there is nothing obvious to ID the band/range.
USA Quantars come in the following flavors:
VHF Range 1 - 132-154
VHF Range 2 - 150-174 (these do work in the ham band down to abt 146)
UHF Range 0 - 380-433
UHF Range 1 - 403-433
UHF Range 2 - 440-470
UHF Range 3 - 470-494 (100w max)
UHF Range 4 - 494-520 (100w max)
First clue:
Receiver module front panel....
800/900 units have NO TUNING HOLES
UHF units have THREE TUNING SLUGS - but usually have FIVE HOLES (look closely) - only the middle three holes have slugs in them to turn
VHF units have FIVE TUNING SLUGS
the above lets you tentatively ID the unit and determine if more exploration is required before your wallet comes out!
The easiest way I have found is to look at the rear of the unit and get the part number off of the PA. It is usually visible without removing the module. There are two different numbers you may encounter - the parts used during the factory build - and - if any modules have been replaced with FRU's (Field Replaceable Units) - you'll see a different part #.....
PA part numbers: (keep in mind that both parts are the same components - just one is a FRU and the other is the factory build/original)
TLD3110 - 25w 132-174
TLN3255 VHF 25w R1/R2 FRU
TLD3101 - 125w 132-154
TLN3379 VHF 125w R1 FRU
TLD3202 - 125w 150-174
TLN3254 VHF 125w R2 FRU
TLE2731 - 25w UHF R1 (403-433)
TLN3443 UHF 25w R1
TLE2732 - 25w UHF R2 (440-470)
(NO FRU Listed...?)
CTX1146 - 110w UHF R0 (380-433)
DLN1216 UHF 110w R0 FRU
TTE2061 - 110w UHF R1 (403-433)
(NO FRU Listed...?)
TTE2062 - 110w UHF R2 (440-470)
TLN3446 UHF 110w R2
TTE2063 - 110w UHF R3 (470-490)
(NO FRU Listed...?)
TTE2064 - 110w UHF R4 (490-520)
TLN3450 UHF 100w R4 FRU
TLF1940 800 MHz 20w
TLN3441 800 MHz 20w FRU
TLF1930 800 MHz 100w
TLN3442 800 MHz 100w FRU
TLF1800 900 MHz 100w
TLN3299 900 MHz 100w FRU
Ok, so you couldn't find a number on the PA, but you could on the exciter? Cool.... But to make matters even more confusing, the manual references a THIRD part # for the module in the "factory option matrix" - at least one of these (CLD1260) - crosses to the TLN3251 in MOL...so the CLXXXXX numbers below are relevant to this post....but most do NOT cross in MOL. Bottom line here is that any of the three part numbers could possibly be found on a quantar module - and - most importantly, they all ID the same component....

I think i have previously posted my take on the quantar station control modules....there are enuf of those to elicit an hour or two of work trying to figure out what each is capable of.....
all of this is pretty much moot if you can power up the station and read the codeplug.... but i'm sure someone out there can use this list.
i'll update this later with some info on power supplies, Astro Modems /V.24, etc.....
