ok the antenna is from cell site 14dbm 4-element in a plastic housing, the amplifier is 600 watts capable linear mosfet 8element hybrid splitters and combiners... but the power supply is up to 65 ampers at 24 volts, driven by a "C" class 130 watt amplifier. the antenna is not on a commercial tower (no luck here). 20 feet above the house. the line is heliax andrew semi-rigid. the repeater is in the attic and the line is 30feet. the duplexer is celwave doesn't like more than 450 watts in.
