Robert, I do not know of any garage door openers that are capable of transmitting and receiving much beyond 60 feet. In most cases, a pair of two-way radios should be able to accomplish your goals. The receiver will have to provide a voltage change when it detects a signal. That voltage change can b...

HF amp problem
Okay, that makes more sense. I would have to suggest that realignment using a watt meter and current meter, after presetting the trimmer caps 180 degrees out of current positions, is your best way to resolve the problem.
Let me know if you still have problems.
Bill

Brett, You brief description makes it tough to provide the correct answer. There are a lot of potential limitations that could be inherent in the original design of the amplifier. Do you know if the manufacturer recommends this modification or have you heard of anyone else doing this specific mod to...

It could be caused by the phase-lock-loop circuit oscillating. If so, it is a result of the VCO voltage being too low for the cicuit. This problem can be corrected by changing the values of 5 to 8 components, depending on the era of your radio. For whatever reason Regency/Wilson changed the componen...

I would suggest using an oscilloscope on the RX audio output to check for noise on the audio on one of the CSQ channels. You should be able to see it on white noise as well. If you see any noise or distortion riding the signal you could have an open capacitor on the audio amplifier, or a bad amp. Al...

Brett As per Scotts reply, it is going to CTCSS that is being used and causing the hum. Also known as tone, private line, channel gaurd, to name a few is a subaudible tone in the frequency range of 67Hz to 260MHz. It is sent during the full time of the transmit carrier. The only thing you can do is ...

Brett, It is not the current demand during normal use that kills the power switch. It is the initial surge when the radio is turned on that causes the carbon build up on the contact pins of the switch. There are several electrolytic capacitors in the radio after the power switch and the surge is a r...

Wes, Some of the RH256Bs came from the factory with a modified control board that uses a FET transistor to supply voltage to the radio. The On/Off switch is used to provide a ground to the FET. All of the RH250s, RH256s, RH600s, RH606s, XLH250s and the Wilson versions that came to the factory for re...

Re: regency rh256b
Jason, Andy's suggestion of a bad on/off switch is one good possibility, but there are at least two others. It is possible that the radio transmitter is not tuned just right and is pulling more current then youtr power source is capable of supplying or maybe the fuse is rated too low. Another possib...

Brad, Is it possible that you have an RSP500 or RSP500B? If so, you would need a PM4500 or PM45A handheld programmer. Neither of which are still available from the factory. I can program it if do not have any luck locally or if you can not purchase a used programmer. Regards, Bill Cole email: bill@b...

Re: RELM SLU25
You need SLPTPC.exe and the IA4500 computer interface module. I can program and align the radios if you do not have them.

Re: WU151RDA
First, the WU151RDA is designed to operate from 450 to 470MHz, so 512MHz is a misprint. Using a good quality set of crystals you should be able to get the repeater to tune into the amatuer band. It is very doubtful it will operate at factory specs without modifications. If you have or can get a Rege...

Regency base station
I can not help you with a service manual but I can tell you that the MCBH45B's main board and power amp was the same as the MCH44B. Unless the microphone jack was rewired after leaving the factory, it was wired to the following: Pin 1 = Open,or +13vdc, or RX audio - depending on the microphone order...
