Hello Everyone, Thanks to all the information that you guys provided. This is very much appreciated. We will look into this and hopefully it would work out. A few months ago, the same digital repeater was setup in Mt. Lukens in Los Angeles and in the same setup where an analog repeater used to be. Right away we noticed the difference in receive sensitivity. We made some test at a low level location and that is where we realized that even in less than 2 miles we can't access the repeater. We will change the internal cables and make measurements in test points and will look for a better duplexer and see if things will get better. Thanks! de Lot / K6IRF http://www.harpusa.org --- On Thu, 4/29/10, Shanon KA8SPW <[email protected]> wrote:
