Since you want to be able to receive as well through the system then to add a postamplifier that would boost the 10 mW to say 5 watt and use this low power to drive a 75 watt PA it became complicated because of relay switching the same tranceiver between RX to TX 73" de i8CVS Domenico _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected].
