Preston, It is possible, but at mobile duplexer power limits of 50 watts I do not think you would cause damage if done for short period of time. Of course about all txs have swr protection shutting down the power if it sees something it does not like.
You can damage a duplexer if running the power in the recv port that is setup to notch or reject the tx. This could mean the duplexer thru its couplers absorbing the power. If high, say 250 W this might cause a problem. I really think you would most likly damage the tx before the duplexer. 73, ron, n9ee/r >From: Preston Moore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Date: 2007/07/10 Tue PM 10:59:00 CDT >To: [email protected] >Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Notch duplexer dumb question (while on the >subject...) > >While on the "mobile" duplexer subject.
