Mike,
Unfortunately, it will not. When you transmit on VHF it will quit
listening on UHF, or when you transmit on UHF it will quit listening on VHF.
That being said, it does hear better than my other handhelds which I
will admit are becoming a little dated.

Hi,
Does anybody know whether the Wouxun dual bander can be configured for a
cross band repeater.
Alternatively, can someone point me in the right direction where I might
find the information,

Hello Domenico
Almost done. I am having a problem, when I bolt everything together.
When the rotation gets to the end or stop position. If I do not stop it in
time it will remain jammed at the stop. It can loosen if I hit the case or
loosen the bolts holding the two halves together. I am thinking the stop
bolt could be a bit longer, but it worked before and very little has been
changed, except for cleaning and lubrication. Thanks for your help.

Hi Domenico-I am putting everything back together. A couple of
questions. Do you find some grease may ooze out when it gets warm?
Hi Bob W7LRD
You should apply any type of black grease normally used over the outside
gears of crains machine wich widstand high temperature without to melt.
As the retainer ring which has a little lip seems to hold the grease
inside.
It is correct but if you use 2 or 3 more balls then the retainer is non
anymore necessary.
Also I loosened the little gear wheel that drives the pot, in order to
work the gear train.
You must buy a new one gear wheel !
It is a little trickey to get to, is that pot only 180 degrees or can it
go further?
No........... the original pot can rotate for more than 360 degrees
I will have to tighten the gear back to the pot shaft when I can get the
pot in the right location. I don't want to accidently run to rotor and keep
going at the end of the pot.
The original 500 ohm pot can rotate all around for more than 360 degrees
and the center pot wiper of the new model of rotators has a flexible wire
outside the case of the pot to provide a safe contact inside of it !

Hi Bob, W7LRD
The diameter of each ball for the bearing of a KR500 is 0.312" or 5 / 16
inch
or 7.9375 mm. I suggest you to remove both stainless steel bearing holders
throw it away and add 2 or 3 more balls in each bearing in order to
replace
the room of the holders teeth. I did it but I do not remember exactly if I
added 2 or 3 more balls. Fill the bearing wrinkles of the rotor housing
with
black dense molibdene grease and pull the balls in it.It works very well
for
me from many years now.

I guess that waiting around a couple of years or so to finally submit my
cards for satellite VUCC paid off.
I know there was some talk about this some time ago, as to who would get
number 200. Well, the mailman came and that's the number on mine!
Seems strange considering almost all the contacts on the FM birds are a grid
exchange; guess many are either not collecting the 100 cards, or aren't
submitting them.
Having amateur satellites available for almost 40 years, and only 200
satellite VUCC awards, WOW.

Sebastian,
Congratulations! I recently spent a few days, off and on, copying my paper
logs into electronic format. Reminded me of my spare time job years ago
doing key punch work. Anyway, it was fun to see what was there. I need to
ping a few people to finish up some awards, which I will do in the winter
months. I uploaded to eQSL and LoTW my AO-10 and AO-13 contacts. I got
exactly 2 hits out of several hundred. ;)
