[Repeater-Builder] Fwd: DB4379UHF combiner
To the group, I received the attached e-mail from a friend in the two way business. Does anyone know if his goal can be met as he describes below? Also could someone point me to the tuning instructions for this beast. Thank you, Ted W3VG Original Message Subject:DB4379UHF combiner Date: Thu, 20 May 2010 11:16:13 -0400 From: Robert Harvey freedom...@windstream.net To: Ted Leonard n2...@verizon.net Ted, you're the filter guy. I have a DB products DB4379-4404B 4 channel UHF combiner. You did a little bit of tuning on it once in the shop. Do you know, or can you find out, if it can be turned into two, 2 channel combiners? I want to combine 461.625, 461.650, 463.625 463.650 but the combiner is speced at 50KHz spacing. There are two splits of only 25KHz on the frequencies I need to work with. Combining 461.625 and 463.625 on one combiner and antenna and combine 461.650 and 463.650 on another combiner and antenna would save me antennas and feedline and lots of money if I can modify the combiner I own.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Wireless electricity
Makes ya wonder, supposedly it is a magnetic field that does the deed but the fact that there is an inductor and cap in each side there is resonance someplace. Sounds like RF to me.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic a bit.
Hi Russ, Be Careful driving in New York with a scanner. Sec 397 of the V+T Law makes it a misdemeanor to have a radio in your car capable of receiving police transmissions unless you are law enforcement or have a permit. There is a vague clause in the section that was probably intended to exclude hams but it is poorly worded. I would hate to see your trip ruined by an over zealous officer. 73 Ted n2isq -Original Message-From: russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 8:23 AMTo: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Repeater-Builder] Off topic a bit.
