Re: [Repeater-Builder] noise filter
Please include me info on this list of possible solutions to noise spikes. My repeater experiences snapping crackling and popping from some source at the site. Not de-sense, its seems to be arcing on a 45 kw bed spring antenna someplace or some high voltage loose antenna point. Comes and goes. A noise blanker would be ideal. Gary K2UQ Yahoo!

In a message dated 1/5/2004 8:22:53 PM Eastern Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: http://www.repeater-builder.com/rbtip/cracking.html Kevin, I read your and WA6ILQ suggestions on crackling problems. Seems we have been through many of them. My antenna is in a very high RF 45 kW FM broadcast field created by two FM stations only 5 feet away from my antenna. A few years ago we were able to take the SuperStationMaster down and one of the interconnecting joints was ready to break. A touch of the finger finished the job. We replaced the section and silver soldered it and all the others. We also installed a support post on top to prevent it from moving. Its hard to test anything because access to the high intensity RF field area at the 850 foot level is not allowed. Have a brand new antenna waiting months to be installed as an add on job when some riggers are able to go up the tower. Glad to hear I was on the correct troubleshooting path. Complete repeater and duplexer have been swapped out. Thanks guys for your suggestions. Gary K2UQ Yahoo!

Re: [Re: [Repeater-Builder] noise filter]
Its suppressing how well the 2 meter repeater works under this high intensity RF field. Everything is normally and great for about 3 weeks then the snap crackle pop comes on for about a week then back to working well. I am a guest on this tower and appreciate the ability to be there. The location was offered and I didn't want to be unappreciative. So I don't say too much about the crackling problem. Considering the high noise floor and the 1000 feet of 7/8 hard line, the repeater does pretty well, if only I could get rid of the snap crackle pop problem. Been this way for many years.
