In the sprit of the only stupid question is the one that goes un-
asked.
Here goes:
I have a Micor UHF repeater mounted in a 46" x 19" cabinet.
It is now a ham band repeater that I have added a new NHRC-5
controller and IRLP interface. The modules are mounted as follows:
Top: Custom built 12V PA cooling fan rack controlled by the NHRC-5
aligned with the top door vents.
75W PA
Transmitter/ Antenna Network
Control module (mostly empty now replaced with NHRC-5 and mods from
this site)
Receiver module
Massive TPN1110B power supply
4" space
Bottom: WaCom duplexer cannisters (4)
I would like to put the power supply on the bottom so that it aligns
with the vents in the cabinet doors and I can add some fans to cool
the transformer (you can cook a grilled cheeze sandwitch on it) An
added plus is that it will make the cabinet more stable with the
weight on the bottom.
Is there any issues mounting the duplexers between the receiver and
the power supply with the powersupply on the bottom.
I hate to move things around and have problems.
And yes I will get help to lower the power supply and save some
digits. I know the best solution is to replace the powersupply with a
more modern one. I plan to do this when funds are better. When this
time comes who makes the best replacement powersupply unit? (ok two
Questions)
