Eric; Tnx fer reply. U R correct there is no circulator on either the 146.700/R or 146.970/R. I have a bandpass cavity. Which rptr does it need to go on??? The 97/R has a Bp/Br wacom 641 duplexer. The 70/R runs dual antennas w/o any filtering on the TX. Jeff (w5ppb) owns the 147.240/R and is planning a freq change soon. This rptr is one we like to link to during WX conditions allowing us on the east side of MS to communicate with Jackson WX Service abt 90 miles away. We are receiving a tornado warningas I type this. The 4th or 5th one today.
