[Repeater-Builder] Coax shielding

2010-06-27 Thread kerincom
Hi guys .I am just wanted to confirm a question on coax shielding . With 2-10 watts transmitting through rg213u could rf be escaping that could cause desensitization to other radios .The repeater I have setup uses 9 meters of heliax from the main diplexer to ant and rg213u from the link radio

At UHF, possibly, at VHF unlikely... you did not specify :-) How close are the frequencies??? Lots of details left out for us to help. If the freq's are within a few hundred kiloherts at vhf, antenna separation is probably the issue... More details please?? Doug KD8B kerincom wrote: Hi

Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Coax shielding Ian, RG-213 coax can definitely contribute to desense, as can cheap connectors and adapters. I suggest making up new jumpers using double-shielded coax such as RG-400 or RG-214, and fit these jumpers with high-quality, crimp-on connectors of the correct

Ian; It would seem that at uhf ~30mhz away cable leakage in the shed would seem to be less likely than antenna to antenna interference. In general it is the white noise generated by a transmitter on other frequencies that is most likely to cause desense to a co located rx. Assuming you
