Hello all.
I am trying to figure out if the duplexer we have put together is up to the
task or not. Here is the situation. We have four cavities 6.5" dia. one is a
vari-notch the others are simple reject cans. Two rejects are on the TX side
and one reject and the vari-notch are on the RX side. All set and tuned with
rg-213 jumpers between cans and RG-142 from the cans to the Tee connector. We
are doing some light testing with a cheap dual ban antenna on the garage. It is
feed with RG-8 about 70 feet. We are having some issues with receive. It kind
of sounds like desense but I think it is something wrong with the receiver. I
was just wondering if the cobbeled together cans sound like thay are doing a
good enough job as a duplexer or if we do have something to change on it. The
repeater is only putting out 2 watts for testing. I would think I have enough
separation for that power level. Any suggestions or thoughts woyuld be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
