To everybody that did the math for Tim, we are 1 meg split here in the country of Texas. Tim, I have some 1 5/8 hard line if you want to make a set of notch duplexers, probably can get you the 80% done set from a buddy. Don Kirchner W5DK -Original Message- From:

Boy, that seems excessive to me, even at 500 kHz. My hunch is that you'll have acceptable performance much closer in distance. 1 MHz spacing was mentioned which would obviously be even better. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: Eric Lemmon wb6...@verizon.net To:

Exactly my feeling. We've got low-band fire here with channels close-spaced and high power TX and desense on an adjacent channel is rarely an issue. Usually you've got to be within one or two blocks from the 1/4K before it gets noticed. Chuck - Original Message - From: Doug Bade

Thanks to all for the great response! Well, since we are 1meg splits here -thanks Don-, that should help some also. (I had looked up a couple of repeaters around here saw .5 split, so thought that's how it was). Anyhow, it's just in the thinking stages. Thanks again, Tim W5FN

Tim, I plugged the same values as before into CommShop, but this time with a 1 MHz split, and the result is about 85 dB isolation, which can be met with about 7.75 miles of horizontal separation. The developer of CommShop was calculating distances that would result in NO desense, using radios

Jeff, I completely agree with your conclusions. The calculations of CommShop, while remarkably close to reality for 2m, 220, and 440 applications, are misleading at 6m and lower frequencies. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com
