RE: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater heard on Aviation Channel! HELP

I have been reading these post for a couple of days now and seen in the original post that you are loosing 110 watts in the duplexer. Maybe I’m the only one that thanks this may have something to do with the problem.   What is the SWR between the tx side of the duplexer and the PA? What is the SWR between the antenna port and the feed line to the antenna? When was the last time the duplexer tuned and how was it tuned (i.e. by the watt meter method or by a tracking generator and a spectrum analyzer?) What is the rx signal sen thru the duplexer and also what is the rx sen on the antenna port of the rx’er?   You should not be loosing 60% of your power into the duplexer something is wrong there. On a 110 watt repeater you should see around 70-80 watts out of the duplexer at least I have seen a little more.         Just my two cents Gary LaForce N0PBM   YAHOO!
