Since you are not seeing a doubling of the notch depth with the two cavities in line, I suspect the cable length is incorrect as Eric pointed out. You also mention the tuning caps seems a little flaky. They shouldn't. It may be that they have been lightning damaged, since that is a known

You are likley to find that a 50 watt repeater transmitting on the same roof as any other VHF radios (in the same command vehicle) will desense the other radios.   I would recommend you consider something in the 20 watt or less range.   This is a case where less is better, especially since you

I know that a duplexer I was looking at can fit into the chassis of the GR1225. I believe it needs 4.5MHz separation between the frequencies which should not be to big of a problem to get. I understand that the GR1225 has either a 25 or 50 watt output so programming to the lower level should

Hi RAY, I would suggest the ICOM CY repeater as this is the same setup I installed in the command trailer for Montgomery Co Search Rescue in TX. It is similar to the Mot unit but is made up of 2 mobile units so if you have a problem with 1, just that 1 could be swapped out. This unit does have

Yes. The duplexer is a very narrow device, by necessity. It likely will not allow varying more then 50-100 KHz from where it's tuned. So, for 155.1, 155.2 or 155.0 will be an extreme. Anything further away than that will not pass. Why limit yourself..? With the right hardware and game

Well... First: If you have the original cable set and know the frequency of design... might be prudent to replace them into service to see if you can obtain the spec'd notch value. Second: You might note the IFR 1600's generator output value and crank it up min 10dB and better yet 20 dB.

Regardless what controller you use with it. Not sure if the TS-2000 would allow the same types of changes the other Kenwood mobiles do. The TS-2000 serial commands are similar to most other recent Kenwood radios. If the controller supports other Kenwood HF radios, it will probably support

It depends on the connector. N-male crimp connectors for RG214 and RG142/400 all add exactly 0.5 inches to the length of the center conductor, so if you need a cable that has to be exactly 12 inches from end-to-end using N-males (where the center pin does NOT extend outside the barrel of the
