As we heard on vintage Saturday Night Live shows... Never Mind... See what happens when you switch to decafe... If the coax you are using is RG-400 well then... probably not a major problem source. But never say never about pretty much anything. If the coax is LMR-400... then trash

Sounds more and more like the duplexer is not tuned as well as you were led to believe. Use two 2m ham rigs, one as a rx and one as a tx, into the duplexer, and let us know the results. I've also seen cans that looked good on a tracking generator but then worked horribly once on the antenna

Thanks for all the input. I have some information now and I hope I'll have the rest tomorrow. Repeater was at 155Mhz with a 700Khz split. It was fully operational at the time of removal, due to 800Mhz upgrade about 5 years ago. The Units were stored in an airconditioned/heated environment and

Right at the start of my conversion information I mention you should begin with the repeater working well at the original frequency. I probably should include the advice to do the frequency conversion first before you do my or anyone's modification. Just so you know you are not fighting

I have a bunch of MSR2000s here. I know the Canadian version was offered as a 132-150 version, but the USA versions I have here are rated 146-174MHz. I know the Micors are band-split for VHF, but from what I read in the MSR manuals, I think there is only one 146-174 slpit MSR, no? I have a
