More likely that something is going on beyond the isolator. If an undersized (dummy) load on the third port was used and it's fried after large amounts of RF coming down the hose toasted it, either from a bad antenna, or whatever...
As a quick sanity check, measure VSWR on the output/antenna side of the isolator and see what it's contending with... perhaps the antenna or feedline have a problem. -- Nate Duehr [email protected] On Wed, 24 Jun 2009 05:49 +0000, "dallasreact112" <[email protected]> wrote: Is there any conceivable way a a bad isolator on an old 440 mhz DB "Intermod Panel" can cause RX problems that appear similar to desense?
