ok this stament is not 100% true I run a repeater with 60 watts output and I only run 4 Cans. wth the 4 Sinclair cans I got over 90db of iso. and to boot if I really wanted to get them tighter thay will do a 500 KC split to boot so instead of going through the hassle of make'n your own cans .. look for a sinclair hybrid duplexer .. you can find these units from cheap to free ... and little work will get then where you need them All I had to do it tune .. the rods and stubs and was bang on .
