I used to work on that stuff. All the rigs would go anywhere well almost. Get the manuals even the mobile manuals as the repeater was much like the mastr II in that all the boards in rptr were the same as the mobile. Get some xtals and tune it up. Any section that does not tune well ot tops out on

[Repeater-Builder] UHF Duplexers

Just about finished with the Mastr II UHF repeater. I've run into a problem with the duplexers. They are a set of WACOM BpBr Model WP678. I am putting 48W into them, but only 18.5W out. I believe this should be better. RX will open squelch at around .2-.3 uV through the cans (this I know

Terry, Is your repeater in the 70cm Amateur band? If so, and your WP-678 duplexer was not originally tuned for that band, that may be where the problem lies. I have a Remec-Wacom WP-678 duplexer that I bought from the factory for GMRS service, and its insertion loss at the transmit frequency is
