Hi folks,

Due to a lack of perceived interest the picnic for 2011-05-21 (this coming Saturday) has been cancelled.  As is usual, there is nothing stopping any of you from spontaneously congregating at a coordinated location to "ham it up", it's just that the LARC won't be a coordinator for a picnic this coming weekend.

73,
Mike, KT2T

Subject: test equipment for rf analysis
Message-ID: <iqvj28+e1kg@eGroups.com>

Greetings

I've got a 16 channel UHF mic from Anchor anchoraudio.com - and a 16 channel uhf receiver from the same company that are incompatible according to the mfg.  I suspect the carrier freq is shifted and that's why they're 'incompatible'.   There is a single channel where they kinda work, but not too good. 
I'd like to look at the signals and try to figure out what's going on.  All I've got is a 60mhz DSO.  I'm looking for a spectrum analyzer or whatever you've got and some RF know-how.  Anybody wanna try to help figure this out?  
A separate project;  I'd really also like to look at the FM signal for the lakeland drive-in.  I suspect simple over modulation, but would really like to look at the signal.

Mike...good morning.....I can help you with both.....I need to know the channel code on both pieces.....this will tell us everything we need to know about the pieces then we will know the next move....I have a optoelectronics near field receiver that is used on my bench. The lakeland drive in transmitter that you want to see is probably a Ramsy product. I install these and set them up also. What is the model number and I can tell you your next move on that also.

Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor equipment;

The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1.  It is set to wireless channel 9.
The transmitter is a hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000.  With the mic set to channel 4, with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often depending on mic orientation. 
I cannot find any meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended to be compatible.  I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', modulation technique, or carrier.     


I don't have physical access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around to it.  If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned.  I've simply never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations on the property using a variety of FM receivers.  I figure if I have problems, everyone else probably does too.

Mike more info on the Anchor unit....you list conflicting models and wh numbers....I know a tech in Anchor Audio and called him......The eairlier series used Vhf  170MHZ freqs and the later units used 700 MHZ for a very short time then they switched to 682 to 698 MHZ freqs. Sense our HAM radios or a scanner can get to these freqs. you can scan them for the most part. Triple check the model and also the serial number is the key to nailing down what you have.....next step is yours....Phil K4BHE

Sorry for the delayed response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean conflicting, I thought I posted in the original message these are 'incompatible'.? I want to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em work.? I own both and therefore can mod both.? I observe the mic appears to have a jtag interface. ? I suspect the single rx/tx channel combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a harmonic.? 

Thanks for the info about the freqs, the receiver is s/n? H30000506.? The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or s/n C3003792.

I'll try to play with the mic with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know why I didn't think of that...

Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor 
  equipment;

The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro 
  model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to wireless channel 9.
The transmitter is a 
  hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. With the mic set to channel 4, 
  with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link 
  lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. 
  It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often 
  depending on mic orientation. 
I cannot find any meaningful documentation 
  on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended 
  to be compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 
  'codes', modulation technique, or carrier. 

I don't have physical 
  access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the 
  drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around 
  to it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal 
  a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've simply 
  never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations 
  on the property using a variety of FM receivers. I figure if I have problems, 
  everyone else probably does too.

Phil

I've got two scanners, but they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to since it is marked UHF.

I've got a handheld transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any transmission ranges to the receiver.

Thanks for your help so far, any else I could try??

                    Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor equipment;

                    The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to wireless channel 9.
                    The transmitter is a hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. With the mic set to channel 4, with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often depending on mic orientation. 
                    I cannot find any meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended to be compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', modulation technique, or carrier. 

                    I don't have physical access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around to it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've simply never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations on the property using a variety of FM receivers. I figure if I have problems, everyone else probably does too.

I've got two scanners, but they're both 
        blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from 
        the mic, but didn't really expect to since it is marked UHF.

I've 
        got a handheld transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test 
        any transmission ranges to the receiver.

Thanks for your help so 
        far, any else I could try??

Sorry for the delayed response... I'm 
                not sure what you or Anchor mean conflicting, I thought I posted 
                in the original message these are 'incompatible'.? I want 
                to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor change, 
                and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em work.? I own 
                both and therefore can mod both.? I observe the mic appears 
                to have a jtag interface. ? I suspect the single rx/tx 
                channel combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a 
                harmonic.? 

Thanks for the info about the freqs, the 
                receiver is s/n? H30000506.? The mic is either s/n 
                0217376374 or s/n C3003792.

I'll try to play with the mic 
                with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know why I 
                didn't think of 
                that...

                            Mike more info on the Anchor unit....you list conflicting models and wh numbers....I know a tech in Anchor Audio and called him......The eairlier series used Vhf  170MHZ freqs and the later units used 700 MHZ for a very short time then they switched to 682 to 698 MHZ freqs. Sense our HAM radios or a scanner can get to these freqs. you can scan them for the most part. Triple check the model and also the serial number is the key to nailing down what you have.....next step is yours....Phil K4BHE

                              Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor equipment;

                              The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to wireless channel 9.
                              The transmitter is a hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. With the mic set to channel 4, with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often depending on mic orientation. 
                              I cannot find any meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended to be compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', modulation technique, or carrier. 

                              I don't have physical access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around to it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've simply never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations on the property using a variety of FM receivers. I figure if I have problems, everyone else probably does too.

Hi Ken,

I personally do not know of anyone who does tower work but I am forwarding this to the club Yahoo group. Hopefully someone will be able to either help or find someone who can.

Ken,
You should contact David Duke KI4OYX in Frostproof. He has a commercial tower business and has done work for Polk County and the NI4CE group. I don't remember the name his tower business nor do I have a contact number to pass on.
Maybe someone in the Lake Wales club will have additional information on David. Hope this will help.

                    I've got two scanners, but they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to since it is marked UHF.

                    I've got a handheld transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any transmission ranges to the receiver.

                    Thanks for your help so far, any else I could try?  


                    Mike

                            Phil 
                            Sorry for the delayed response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean conflicting, I thought I posted in the original message these are 'incompatible'.  I want to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em work.  I own both and therefore can mod both.  I observe the mic appears to have a jtag interface.   I suspect the single rx/tx channel combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a harmonic.  

                            Thanks for the info about the freqs, the receiver is s/n  H30000506.  The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or s/n C3003792.

                            I'll try to play with the mic with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know why I didn't think of that...

Good afternoon all!!!

I cannot believe Bike has already come and gone...it sure came up 
quickly and went by just as fast.  I hope you all were able to get some 
much deserved relaxation after the ride.  I have been reading the emails 
coming in about the event and what our riders thought of it...I only 
read the good ones! Just kidding...

Here are some of the comments from Bike MS: 2011:

"WOW, what an amazing weekend.  Thank you for all your support and 
dedication to make this Bike MS a special one.

I hope you don't mind, but I would like to share my unique view of the 
weekend.  This is my third ride as a cyclist, second as a VIB, first as 
a Ride Marshal and first as a SAG.  My team, Team MS: Missy's 
Supporters, and I rode the century on Saturday (another first for me!) 
through all the rain, thunderstorms, wind, and heat.  The road and rest 
stop support was amazing!  As a Ride Marshal, it was a privilege to 
assist several of my fellow cyclists by contacting net control for 
mechanical support.

On Sunday, as you all know, the weather was sketchy and my team decided 
better safe than sorry and not ride the 50.  My wife Missy (who has MS 
and the reason for my team name) and I decided to assist as a last 
minute extra HAM/SAG vehicle.  What a fantastic and eye-opening 
experience.  As a rider, I knew there were SAG, Medical, Shadow and 
Motorcycle support but I did not fathom all the coordination that goes 
on behind the scene.  Everyone did such a wonderful job. Missy and I are 
honored to be a part of the 2011 Bike MS: The Citrus Tour."

"Thank you all!  Riders, fundraisers, volunteers, club members who 
trained us up and cheered us on from afar.  I just got off the phone 
with my Dad, Denny, who was here last year for the finish.  He was in 
awe, once again this year, at our efforts to fight the disease that took 
his wife, my Mom, last February.  Congrats to you all.  Thanks to you all!"

"Congratulations on a tremendous event! My team... "Very Attractive 
People on a Ride" really loved it and we were all first timers... the 
only thing to do to improve it would have been to get rid of that wind 
on day 2!"


"I wanted to write you and let you know what a great job you did, yet 
again!!
Even through the rain, hail, and possible flying cow, you pulled off 
another amazing bike tour!!
Thank you for all your hard work! You helped make my 40th birthday an 
amazing birthday that I will never forget!!!
Thanks again for all you do!"

As I read these emails I immediately think of all of you

I hope you guys realize just how big this event is...I'm not talking 
about big to the Society, but big to our riders.  I witness the 
magnitude of this event every time I speak to our riders...why they 
ride, who they ride for, how long they've been riding, how they got 
started and what motivates them to continue to ride.  The impact this 
event has on our riders was created by YOU.  You all should be very 
proud of the event you've helped create and grow, because its success 
lies within all of you.   A simple thank you cannot express how 
appreciative and grateful I am, and the Society is, to have such a 
wonderful committee that has turned into a family...we certainly see 
each other enough!haha.   Sincere thanks for all that you do to make 
Bike MS such an amazing experience for so many people - cyclists, teams, 
other volunteers, families, friends and people living with multiple 
sclerosis.

Hi All,

While the heartfelt thanks and appreciation contained in the email below are
to be passed along to everyone who partipated in the BikeMS event, the
Committee wrap-up meeting information only applies to the planning Committee
members. A follow-up meeting for all the radio volunteers can be scheduled
at a later date if there seems to be interest in doing so.

Thank You again, and sorry for any confusion!

I've got two scanners, but 
                    they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything 
                    up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to 
                    since it is marked UHF.

I've got a handheld 
                    transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any 
                    transmission ranges to the receiver.

Thanks for your 
                    help so far, any else I could try?? 
                    


Mike

Sorry for the delayed 
                            response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean 
                            conflicting, I thought I posted in the original 
                            message these are 'incompatible'.? I want to 
                            know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor 
                            change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em 
                            work.? I own both and therefore can mod 
                            both.? I observe the mic appears to have a jtag 
                            interface. ? I suspect the single rx/tx channel 
                            combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a 
                            harmonic.? 

Thanks for the info about 
                            the freqs, the receiver is s/n? 
                            H30000506.? The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or 
                            s/n C3003792.

I'll try to play with the mic 
                            with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know 
                            why I didn't think of 
                            that...

                              Mike more info on the 
                              Anchor unit....you list conflicting models and wh 
                              numbers....I know a tech in Anchor Audio and 
                              called him......The eairlier series used Vhf? 
                              170MHZ freqs and the later units used 700 MHZ for 
                              a very short time then they switched to 682 to 698 
                              MHZ freqs. Sense our HAM radios or a scanner can 
                              get to these freqs. you can scan them for the most 
                              part. Triple check the model and also the serial 
                              number is the key to nailing down what you 
                              have.....next step is yours....Phil

Thanks for responding Phil, here's the 
                                info I have on the Anchor equipment;

The 
                                receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker 
                                MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to 
                                wireless channel 9.
The transmitter is a 
                                hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. 
                                With the mic set to channel 4, with the 
                                equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I 
                                can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the 
                                receiver and it will demodulate audio as 
                                expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too 
                                well and will lose the lock often depending on 
                                mic orientation. 
I cannot find any 
                                meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but 
                                a call to their support revealed these are not 
                                intended to be compatible. I don't know if the 
                                incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', 
                                modulation technique, or carrier. 

I 
                                don't have physical access to the drive-in 
                                equipment, but swear to myself every time I 
                                visit the drive-in that I will bring up the 
                                topic here, and finally I'm getting around to 
                                it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd 
                                just like to give the signal a look-see to see 
                                if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've 
                                simply never had a good experience trying to 
                                tune their signal from various locations on the 
                                property using a variety of FM receivers. I 
                                figure if I have problems, everyone else 
                                probably does too.

I've got two scanners, but 
                    they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything 
                    up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to 
                    since it is marked UHF.

I've got a handheld 
                    transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any 
                    transmission ranges to the receiver.

Thanks for your 
                    help so far, any else I could try?? 
                    


Mike

Sorry for the delayed 
                            response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean 
                            conflicting, I thought I posted in the original 
                            message these are 'incompatible'.? I want to 
                            know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor 
                            change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em 
                            work.? I own both and therefore can mod 
                            both.? I observe the mic appears to have a jtag 
                            interface. ? I suspect the single rx/tx channel 
                            combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a 
                            harmonic.? 

Thanks for the info about 
                            the freqs, the receiver is s/n? 
                            H30000506.? The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or 
                            s/n C3003792.

I'll try to play with the mic 
                            with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know 
                            why I didn't think of 
                            that...

Thanks for responding Phil, here's the 
                                info I have on the Anchor equipment;

The 
                                receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker 
                                MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to 
                                wireless channel 9.
The transmitter is a 
                                hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. 
                                With the mic set to channel 4, with the 
                                equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I 
                                can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the 
                                receiver and it will demodulate audio as 
                                expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too 
                                well and will lose the lock often depending on 
                                mic orientation. 
I cannot find any 
                                meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but 
                                a call to their support revealed these are not 
                                intended to be compatible. I don't know if the 
                                incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', 
                                modulation technique, or carrier. 

I 
                                don't have physical access to the drive-in 
                                equipment, but swear to myself every time I 
                                visit the drive-in that I will bring up the 
                                topic here, and finally I'm getting around to 
                                it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd 
                                just like to give the signal a look-see to see 
                                if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've 
                                simply never had a good experience trying to 
                                tune their signal from various locations on the 
                                property using a variety of FM receivers. I 
                                figure if I have problems, everyone else 
                                probably does too.

                              I've got two scanners, but they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to since it is marked UHF.

                              I've got a handheld transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any transmission ranges to the receiver.

                              Thanks for your help so far, any else I could try?

                                Sorry for the delayed response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean conflicting, I thought I posted in the original message these are 'incompatible'.  I want to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em work.  I own both and therefore can mod both.  I observe the mic appears to have a jtag interface.   I suspect the single rx/tx channel combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a harmonic.  

                                Thanks for the info about the freqs, the receiver is s/n  H30000506.  The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or s/n C3003792.

                                I'll try to play with the mic with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know why I didn't think of that...

                                Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor equipment;

                                The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to wireless channel 9.
                                The transmitter is a hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. With the mic set to channel 4, with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often depending on mic orientation. 
                                I cannot find any meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended to be compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', modulation technique, or carrier. 

                                I don't have physical access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around to it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've simply never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations on the property using a variety of FM receivers. I figure if I have problems, everyone else probably does too.

I suspect the carrier freq is shifted and that's why they're 'incompatible'. There is a single channel where they kinda work, but not too good.

I've got two scanners, 
                              but they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't 
                              pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but 
                              didn't really expect to since it is marked 
                              UHF.

I've got a handheld transceiver, but 
                              it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any 
                              transmission ranges to the receiver.

Thanks 
                              for your help so far, any else I could try??

Sorry for the delayed 
                                response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean 
                                conflicting, I thought I posted in the original 
                                message these are 'incompatible'.? I want 
                                to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did 
                                Anchor change, and can anything be done (by me) 
                                to make 'em work.? I own both and therefore 
                                can mod both.? I observe the mic appears to 
                                have a jtag interface. ? I suspect the 
                                single rx/tx channel combo where I can receive, 
                                it is simply hitting a harmonic.? 
                                

Thanks for the info about the freqs, the 
                                receiver is s/n? H30000506.? The mic 
                                is either s/n 0217376374 or s/n 
                                C3003792.

I'll try to play with the mic 
                                with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't 
                                know why I didn't think of 
                                that...

                                and called him......The eairlier series used 
                                Vhf? 170MHZ freqs and the later units used 
                                700 MHZ for a very short time then they switched 
                                to 682 to 698 MHZ freqs. Sense our HAM radios or 
                                a scanner can get to these freqs. you can scan 
                                them for the most part. Triple check the model 
                                and also the serial number is the key to nailing

Thanks for responding Phil, here's the 
                                info I have on the Anchor equipment;

The 
                                receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker 
                                MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to 
                                wireless channel 9.
The transmitter is a 
                                hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. 
                                With the mic set to channel 4, with the 
                                equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I 
                                can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the 
                                receiver and it will demodulate audio as 
                                expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too 
                                well and will lose the lock often depending on 
                                mic orientation. 
I cannot find any 
                                meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but 
                                a call to their support revealed these are not 
                                intended to be compatible. I don't know if the 
                                incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', 
                                modulation technique, or carrier. 

I 
                                don't have physical access to the drive-in 
                                equipment, but swear to myself every time I 
                                visit the drive-in that I will bring up the 
                                topic here, and finally I'm getting around to 
                                it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd 
                                just like to give the signal a look-see to see 
                                if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've 
                                simply never had a good experience trying to 
                                tune their signal from various locations on the 
                                property using a variety of FM receivers. I 
                                figure if I have problems, everyone else 
                                probably does too.

                                I've got two scanners, but they're both blocked from 512-806MHZ. I didn't pick anything up from 170-174MHZ from the mic, but didn't really expect to since it is marked UHF.

                                I've got a handheld transceiver, but it is only 144-148MHZ, so I cant test any transmission ranges to the receiver.

                                Thanks for your help so far, any else I could try?

                                Sorry for the delayed response... I'm not sure what you or Anchor mean conflicting, I thought I posted in the original message these are 'incompatible'.  I want to know _how_ they are incompatible- eg what did Anchor change, and can anything be done (by me) to make 'em work.  I own both and therefore can mod both.  I observe the mic appears to have a jtag interface.   I suspect the single rx/tx channel combo where I can receive, it is simply hitting a harmonic.  

                                Thanks for the info about the freqs, the receiver is s/n  H30000506.  The mic is either s/n 0217376374 or s/n C3003792.

                                I'll try to play with the mic with my scanner and see what I can see, I don't know why I didn't think of that...

                                Mike more info on the Anchor unit....you list conflicting models and wh numbers....I know a tech in Anchor Audio and called him......The eairlier series used Vhf  170MHZ freqs and the later units used 700 MHZ for a very short time then they switched to 682 to 698 MHZ freqs. Sense our HAM radios or a scanner can get to these freqs. you can scan them for the most part. Triple check the model and also the serial number is the key to nailing down what you have.....next step is yours....Phil K4BHE

                                Thanks for responding Phil, here's the info I have on the Anchor equipment;

                                The receiver is integrated into a loudspeaker MegaVox Pro model MEGA-6000U1. It is set to wireless channel 9.
                                The transmitter is a hand-held wireless microphone model WH-3000. With the mic set to channel 4, with the equipment in close physical range (~5-10 feet)I can get the rx link lights to illuminate on the receiver and it will demodulate audio as expected. It doesn't lock onto the signal too well and will lose the lock often depending on mic orientation. 
                                I cannot find any meaningful documentation on the mfgrs site, but a call to their support revealed these are not intended to be compatible. I don't know if the incompatibility is with the channel 'codes', modulation technique, or carrier. 

                                I don't have physical access to the drive-in equipment, but swear to myself every time I visit the drive-in that I will bring up the topic here, and finally I'm getting around to it. If your equipment is at all portable, I'd just like to give the signal a look-see to see if anything jumps out as being mis-aligned. I've simply never had a good experience trying to tune their signal from various locations on the property using a variety of FM receivers. I figure if I have problems, everyone else probably does too.

The lakeland drive in transmitter that you want to see is probably a Ramsy product. I install these and set them up also. What is the model number and I can tell you your next move on that also.

I suspect the carrier freq is shifted and that's why they're 'incompatible'. There is a single channel where they kinda work, but not too good.

Happy memorial day to all our service men and women. My father was a radio operator in the 8th(B-17) and 9th(B-26) Army Air Corps-total 63 missions, needless to say he could do Morse code in his sleep.
 His silent key I adopted as my own "WB4LCA".

Thanks Biff,

I can think of no greater way to pay tribute to any silent key.

Happy Memorial Day to  you also.
