Don,
Wasn't that the receiver that I couldn't get to squelch out by turning my service monitor completely off (-137dB) but would squelch once I removed the cable?? Yep, I think it was!! With the preamp in-line and the squelch set critical, I could open the squelch with my HP8920 set to the lowest generator output setting (-137dB). I was so impressed with myself... Only trouble is, you have to have a GOOD set of duplexers and a damn quiet site to realize all that sensitivity. If you had the perfect situation, that receive setup would work great with a 500W amp. You would just have to have a GREAT duplexer!! Scott Scott Zimmerman Amateur Radio Call N3XCC 612 Barnett Rd Boswell, PA 15531 Yes Scott that was the 220 You built, At the Same time You were building a House and Moving , Everyone is Impressed with the Receive, And the users are able to Get into it using low Power and that was my Goal, I have it about 17 Miles away From home up at 150Ft, G-7 Wacom BP/BR 4 Can . 80 Watts out at the Duplexer. I can bring up the Repeater from Home using a old Motorola Service Monitor R-2001C, I have My wife at Home and tell Her over the Cell Phone when to flip the switch and vary the output up and down she is not a Ham but putting up with Me for over 40 ys and going to Hamfest She helps . Thanks again For the Great job and also all the Help I have received from others on this Group Happy Repeater Building Don KA9QJG
