2007 Annual Las Vegas IRLP Conference is now set for April 14 
Saturday 8 AM
through April Sunday Noon at the Imperial Palace on the Las Vegas 
strip.
Ask for group rate of $119.00 per week end day. Come early or stay 
over;
rates are much lower on non-week end days. 

 

The format of the conference is to have Dave Cameron as the featured
speaker. Node owner special interest presentations are welcome. I 
expect to
see demos of micro node computers, mobile nodes and much more. 
Technical
information presentations and papers on other VOIP systems such as 
Echo
link, D Star and All Star Link (Full Duplex Asterisk ) are welcome and
encouraged.   

 

The date of the IRLP conference was set to coincide with the National

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Use a band pass filter between pass-reject duplexer and antenna?

2005-07-23 Thread w7aor
Eric Lemmon WB6FLY gave the best response to my question of how 
common is it to place a bandpass fillter betweeen antenna and 
duplexer. Most assumed a ham repeater with tx circulator and high 
rejection pass/reject duplexer which is correct.

As I read the resposes it seems the answer is: this is not very 
common at all and not the best way to lower a nose floor to increase 
Rx sensitivy. It also adds to Tx power loss by a few dB. If broad 
enough to pass both Tx and Rx then the skirts are too broad to be 
helpful in eliminating RF from near by out of ham band high power 
transmitters. 

The repeater owner said he allowed a radio shop to install it that 
way, but it did NOT do the job of lowering the noise floor as 
promised. I questioned the wisdom, but thought I would ask if others 
had do it that way and why.

wrote:
 I'm responding to you directly, as well as to the list, because 
your
 question is a very good one that should be answered publicly.
 
 Without much fear of contradiction, I will state that a
 bandpass/bandreject duplexer has precious little bandpass 
effect.  Sure,
 when you look at a response plot that covers 10 MHz, it may look 
very
 selective, but in reality the bandpass action is rather subtle.  A 
whole
 lot of RF can blow through a Bp/Br duplexer in either direction, 
but MOST
 of the time this deficiency doesn't cause a problem.
 
 I would not put a BP cavity between the duplexer and the antenna, 
simply
 because such a cavity would diminish the function of the 
duplexer.  Now,
 if you want to put a preamp between the duplexer and the receiver, 
a BP
 cavity tuned to the receive frequency is a very good idea.  This 
BP filter
 should follow the duplexer and precede the preamp.  Two 8 
cavities with
 1.0 dB IL work well.
 
 If you have a solid-state PA that has significant sideband noise, 
you
 might consider placing a BP filter between the PA and the 
duplexer.  If
 you are using a ferrite isolator to protect the PA, a BP cavity 
filter
 between the isolator and the duplexer can take the place of a 2nd-
harmonic
 notch filter or low-pass filter.  At a crowded commercial site, 
you may be
 required to have a BP cavity on the TX side.
