Repeater Builders, I pose to you all a question. I have two UHF duplexers, both 4 cavity pass-reject. One is a Wacom (the ubiquitous 3U rackmount guy) and the other is from a Motorola MSR2000. I have really poor equipment, and don't necessarily "trust" manufacturer specs. Anybody have an opinion on which one is better, or pros and cons to each?
The rest of the RF equipment are Hamtronics T304 and R305 and a Mirage D-1010-RN. The T304 is "throttled" back so that the Mirage is making about 55-60W. I'm currently running on the MSR2000 duplexer, not tuned as well as it could be. Some desense, and some is probably curable with better tuning of the duplexer, helical preselector on the front end, etc. But so far, I'm finding the additional receiver sensitivity (over say a Mitrek/MSR or Micor) is far out-weighing the desense 73 DE N0MJS -- Cort Buffington H: +1-785-838-3034 M: +1-785-865-7206
