Hi all, We've added a preamp to our local repeater and found that it had too much gain. It started picking up lots of garbage. Reducing the gain by about 6db seems to put it in a good operating place.
We also found that by putting the 6db attenuator on the input of the preamp (right after the band pass can), it's real easy to add in the system. If we mount it after the preamp, we'll need an adapter on each side of the preamp to make it all connect up. Obviously it would be best if we could put the attenuator after the pre and have no adapters, but it's not convenient. The question is how much trouble will be getting into by putting the 6db attenuator on the input side of the preamp? Would it still be better to put it after the preamp even though it would add two adapters? Thanks, Dwayne Kincaid WD8OYG
