Kevin: As long as the 97/R is linked to 24/R and there is no activity on the 70/R every thing is fine. Once someone transmits thru the 70/R is when the problem occurs. The 97/R has to be recv'n a signal from the 24/R and of course be transmitting for the problem to happen. If there is traffic on the 70/R without any traffic on the 97/R or rec'vn a signal from the 24/R thru the remote base there is no problem. The 97/has to be linked to the 24/R and recv'n a signal from it for the intermod to occur. You can disconnect from the 24/R and all goes away. Seems to me it is coming in thru the remote base recv'r. Maybe some mix of the 146.970 TX'r and 146.700 TX'r with the remote listening on 147.24 is the problem. I've looked at the intermod calculator and there looks like there could be a problem. I'm just not very familiar at how this all happens.
Hope this claifies some things, Agn tnx to all, Dennis ki5fw --- In [email protected], Kevin Custer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I disagree, because he says it happens only when things are linked. > > I would think it has something to do with the link transmitter > intermoding the repeater receiver, or the repeater transmitter > intermoding the link receiver.
