TR-2200

This transceiver was inherited in 1998 from PD0GEG(SK). The set has not been used for many years, but 2020-01-31 found to be still fully functional.

It is typically a set for the 1980's era Dutch "D license" (an early novice license). This license only allowed transmission on a few selected channels in the 2m band.

One could perhaps use it as a monitor receiver for the local repeater or the local club-channel. But that would, in my case, require a change to the crystals. BUT: See update below.

Today I received (From Andy-Quarz some new xtals for this set. They seem to work as intended, so I can now use this set as a monitor receiver for the local repeater DB0WA and the local group channels.

Now I need a CTCSS generator to actually work over this repeater with this unit (but I have other sets that will do).

Chan	TX-Freq	RX-Freq
1	145.000	145.600
2	145.250	145.250
3	145.325	145.325
4	145.400	145.400
5	145.500	145.500
6	---	145.000

Good to know:

Of-course, I needed a little cable with a Powerpole connector to "feed" this set with 12V.

---

The TR2200 actually has a builtin 220V AC mains power supply.

But a modern standard C7 connector doesn't fit (without undue force):

On the TR2200 we have 2.75mm pins with a centre-spacing of 7.8mm (so a C1 doesn't fit either).

The following cable (currently at PE0FKO) might fit, we'll try it in the near future.

Note (2020-07-06): I recovered our own copy of the manual in between PD0GEG's papers. See this scan of the front-page:

The following scans are probably, via assorted in-betweens, from manualslib. (Although, that's also unlikely to be the original source.)

The most interesting pages of the manual.
