look at all your repeater sheilding and interconnect cables from repeater dto duplexer and those cables. you appear to be getting signal ingress through the recieve side somehow. I have had antenna on top of the repeater using a mag mount and not had problems. Good luck this is a tough problem to resolve. Stan

To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 11:56 AM Hi All, And the winner is..... Door # 2. Put the 2 meter vertical up on the stick at the end of the hard line, & the desense was worse! Perfect match at the feed line end. Took dummy load & put on far end of hard line & no desense. Guess it is the proximity to the antenna. Although about 100', guess the RF is getting back into the box. Gonna set the antenna party for Friday morning. The stuff is going up on the tower (unless somebody can see some flaw in my logic & can suggest <another> test)! Thanks again to all! Tim W5FN
