I have a friend who used just this combinatin and a splitter like you mentioned. The VHF repeater was a Mastr II with a Sinclair 202G duplexer and the UHF repeater was a Yaesu 7000 with the Yaesu duplexer. The combination worked just fine on 2 meters but the 440 repeater receiver was desensed when the 2 meter repeater was keyed. The 440 repeater seemed to work OK when the 2 meter repeater was not keyed. The 2 meter repeater outputs about 20 watts from the duplexer and the 440 repeater was operated at the 10 watt level. The range of the 2 meter repeater was far superior to what he had with only the 440 repeater connected directly to the antenna.
He has now done away with the 440 repeater and operates the 2 meter repeater with a direct connection from the duplexer to the GP9 antenna and is very happy with the performance. 73 - Jim W5ZIT -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 26 Apr 2007 12:12 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Antenna Question I am not sure if we ever visited this question before, If we have sorry... Here is the story, I have a Comet Dual Band Antenna GP9 VHF/UHF, works for me and I like the quality and price. I have a UHF Repeater and soon to have a VHF Repeater at the same location. I have no more space or money to run the cable for another antenna, to the top. How could I run both repeaters off the same antenna, I have a wacom duplexer 4 can base type (not the cheap mobile kind) for one and the other is a Telewave VHF 4 can (same type but VHF). Is it possible? Could I use one of those splitters (450/150 mini duplexers) attached to both duplexers? Or would I need something else? This is probably simple I just am not sure? Thanks in advance?
