Technical Information and Modifications for
Other Manufacturer's Equipment Compiled, HTML'd and Maintained by Mike Morris WA6ILQ Formerly Maintained by Robert Meister WA1MIK |
Below are are manuals for equipment from other manufacturers that don't have their own pages at this site.
When we have enough from one manufacturer we will create a page for them.
Update 2024-03-31: Vega Electronics, Cetec-Vega and Telex-Vega have been moved to their own page.
Donations for this page (or any page at this web site) are gratefully accepted.
NOTE: Test equipment companies are listed under "Test Equipment" on the main index page.

Clegg Communications Corporation was run by Ed Clegg, W8LOY, from the 1960s until
he died in September of 2001 at age 80. Clegg was one of the early and most popular
amateur VHF radio manufacturers and importers. A number of the Clegg radios were designed
by Miguel Emilio "Mike" Santana WB6TEB (SK 2016) and made by Uniden. Mike was the
Vice President of Engineering for Fanon-Courier and did a number of Clegg and President (CB)
radio designs. Mark Three 1.2 MB PDF file Equivalent to the Midland 13‑500. The last page of the PDF is a full-size schematic diagram. FM-28 7.1 MB PDF file Equivalent to the early model Midland 13‑510A (the 2 meter version of the Midland 13‑513 220 radio). The original price (in the mid-1970s) was around $350. They were sold in europe as the Uniden 2080. FM-76 1.5 MB PDF file Equivalent to the Midland 13‑509 and similar Cobra model. The second page of the PDF is a full-size schematic diagram. FM-88 1 MB PDF file Equivalent to the later model Midland 13‑510A. Clegg 016 repeater (220 MHz) 21.4 MB PDF file Contains the advertisement and schematics. The FM-28 and FM-88 had a factory installed scanner option (FM-28S or FM-88S) that was very rare. The scanner was actually made by CES as their 800-ML product. |

CSI - There are or were three different companies that used the initials
CSI - one was Communication Systems Incorporated (CSI) Company in Lynwood, Washington
which is long out of business. That CSI was a manufacturer of commercial two-way radio
PL/CG/tone/CTCSS/DPL/Digital-sub-tone panels (community repeater/shared repeater tone
panels). These blue-gray color CSI-32 plain and CSI Super-32 Repeater Tone Panels are
not to be confused with similar products made by Connect Systems Inc. originally in
Torrance (now in Ventura) in Southern California - the two companies despite the identical
monikers are not and were not related in any way. Nor are they related to a third "CSI",
Communications Specialists Inc. (also known as Com-Spec), the makers of the popular
subaudible tone encoders and decoders, which is in the city of Orange, in Southern California.
Communications Specialists Inc. (Com-Spec) and Connect Systems Inc. (CSI) have their own
pages at this web site.
The first file listed below contains the basic (standard) CSI 32 Repeater Tone Panel Controller manual (photo of the unit). The second file contains the CSI Super 32 Repeater Tone Panel (Controller) manual. The last two files contain the two pages of programming commands from the basic (standard) CSI 32 Tone Panel Controller Manual; the zip file contains two GIF files, and the PDF is a two page image file. If anyone has photos of the Super 32 panel we'd appreciate an email. The first four of the Communication Systems Incorporated (CSI-Lynwood) files below were donated by Skipp May http://www.radiowrench.com. |

Data Signal Inc. (DSI) of Albany GA. became Game Country, Inc. and they still have some old manuals left.
They wrote: We did go by the name Data Signal quite a few years ago. We got out of that business when cell phones took off and eliminated about 80% of our product line. Fortunately, we do still have some of the old product manuals available. As an example, we have a CWID 70-DC version that you can purchase for $10.00. It has all the information that you need. Schematics, theory, installation and so on. One thing you do need to know is that coding of the PROM is no longer possible by us. If you need to change the code, then you will have to go elsewhere. To get the manual send a check along with your complete mailing address. Please let me know if you need further assistance. |

HAL ID-1A Diode Matrix
Programming 670 kB PDF file donated by Greg Beat W9GB This is not the complete ID-1A manual, just the chapter on programming the diode matrix. Note that the original 1N270 germanium diodes are hard to find, since they are no longer actively manufactured. The Central Semiconductor CDSH270 is a Silicon Schottky diode specifically designed to replace the older germanium diodes manufactured with 1950s technology like the 1N270, 1N277, etc. Advantages of this new technology are lower forward voltage, lower leakage, faster switching speed, and a more robust package. Mouser part # 610-CDSH270 was a reliable source for this diode in 2008 at about 25 cents each. NOTE: The HAL ID-1000 uses a DIFFERENT diode Matrix format, so this manual excerpt is not helpful for that newer CW ID model. |

Software 207 kB ZIP file courtesy of Eric VE2VXT The actual name of this software is "Service Monitor 2000". This is version 2.0, anybody have the 2.2.3 version? Supposedly that was the last one. NOTE: Several anti-virus products falsely detect this program as a Trojan Horse. It's NOT! And your page maintainer can verify that. Comments from Joe Orrico WB6HRO: "You have to make an exception (in the antivirus) to run allow it to run. There isn't a virus or trojan in it. Then for compatibility run as Windows 95 or 98. My entire system uses these radios, I have about 30 RFT modules including spares." |

Trident Raider Installation and Operation Manual Rev. 1.4.2 dated November 2007 PN:600-491 2.3 MB PDF (text searchable, missing the schematics) Trident Raider Installation and Operation Manual Rev. 1.4.1 dated November 1999 PN:600-491 111.5 MB PDF (an image file, not text serchable, no schematics) Schematics that should have been included in the 1.4.2 manual: Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 All five pages in a ZIP file All five pages in a multipage PDF file Trident Micro Systems ("TMS") in Arden, North Carolina made the Raider (spec sheet) (front rear), the Marauder (spec sheet) (no photos), the Raider Extreme (spec sheet) (front rear), the Raider Extreme II (no data), and other LTR repeater controllers. The Raider replaced the TNT model (that Kenwood sold for years with their name on them) and was a LTR (analog trunking) single channel controller with internal Morse Code ID and LTR airtime usage info that could be downloaded as a simple text file. Both the TNT and the the Raider were one rack unit tall (1 and 3/4 inch). It also had both CTCSS tones and DCS codes as it was designed to be a transition controller from a community repeater to an LTR repeater. The Marauder was a Raider with a fully populated circuit board - they added an internal telephone interconnect (an autopatch that supported both outgoing and incoming calls). If anyone has a Marauder manual I'd like to have the opportunity to scan it (and will return it if you want it back). The LTR format had limitations and was easily hacked. It was superseded by first LTR-NET, then MultiNET and finally Passport. The Raider Extreme model was the exact same circuit board as the Raider just with different PROMs and paint and implemented the Passport protocol features. TMS was bought by Motorola in November of 2014 just for the patents and intellectual property (Passport, Connect+ and eventually DMR) and the LTR product line went away. The Raider manuals that we have above have interfacing information for a plethora of common repeaters, and enough information to roll your own. All the Raider needs is +12vDC, receiver discriminator audio and it outputs transmit audio and transmit data. The LTR format is NOT legal on amateur frequencies as it transmits a beacon data pulse every few seconds and does it without any ID signal. Managing a TNT, a Raider, a Marauder or an Extreme does not require a Windows PC running a virtual machine running MS-DOS running old proprietary software to manage it (like you do with the competing Zetron Model 42 or the CSI 4200)… All you need is a female-to-female 3-wire (pins 2, 3 & 5) crossover cable and a Televideo 920-compatible terminal emulator (like ProCommPlus or ZOC). Your page maintainer has 47 channels of LTR with Raiders, Zetron 42s and CSI 4200s in commercial service on dual Motorola GM300s, R1225s and Kenwood TKR repeaters. All are remotely managed over the internet. He'd love to find one or two Raider Extreme II units just to experiment with them. Also any airtime billing package that supports the Trident format. |

Waters Hybrid Couplers model
3001 and 3002 563 kB PDF file The Waters phone patches were the Rolls Royce grade units of the 1960s-1970s and are still prized today. The 3002 had an additional audio leveling amplifier that worked quite well. The physical design was interesting as well: the unit could sit horizontally on top of a radio, or vertically next to it. The front panel was reversible for either mode. |
