Quantar Station Control Board detailed info...

[batdude]

For those of you that don't know, the capabilities of a Quantar repeater station are pretty much dependent upon two things - the model # of your Station Control Board (SCM) and the firmware that's flashed into it.

from the tri-state fonebook sized quantar manual, here are the (then) current part numbers of Quantar station SCM's:

cln6873a
cln6960a
cln6961a
cln6686d
trn7475f
trn7704f
trn7760c
trn7900c
trn4094c
cln6686c
trn4093d
ttn5128c


here's the current breakdown as i can tell so far: (coments are in [xxx] FRU = Field Replaceable Unit... no quantar modules are field repairable...)


cln6873 YOGI EPIC STATION CONTROL BD
replaced with: CLN1273A astrotac epic
[must be the astrotac shelf SCM)
[I guess the "codename" of the Astrotac is "yogi"... ha ha ha]


cln6960 INTELLIREPEATER EPIC SCB II
replaced with: CLN1294A Intellipeater EPIC II Intellipeater
[last post on this noted that Intellipeater machines will NOT do conventional....but they can act as standalone trunking controllers]


CLN6961 CONV/6809 EPIC SCB II
replaced with: CLN1293A FRU EPIC II CTRL MOD-CONV/TRK
[this is the most flexible SCM - capable of running as a 6809 trunking station - under the control of a trunking/zone controller... or conventional]


cln6686 EPIC SNTL MOD DATA
replaced with: CLN1177B FRU: EPIC SNTL MOD DATA
[obviously a Quantar DBS (data base station) controller]


trn7475 [cancelled]
[this is an analog board - unknown if it's upgradeable or not]


trn7704 BD CTL BASIC COMPARATOR
[astrotac comparator scm]


trn7760 [cancelled?]

trn7900 [cancelled?]

ttn4094 CONV EPIC STATION CONTROL BD
replaced with: TLN3397A [cancelled]
[this is probably best described as a "first generation" VSLEP board..?]


cln6686 BRD,EPIC CTRL MOD DATA
replaced with: CLN1177B FRU: EPIC SNTL MOD DATA
[More DBS stuff...]

ttn4093 COMPARATOR EPIC CONTROL [cancelled]

ttn5128 [cancelled]
replaced with: TLN3457A FRU STA CTL MODULE DATA



Hope this is of some use to everyone.
