Because the meter and its cable's electrical length will change the tuning. You can read it at the antenna port of the duplexer if youre using one. This has already been covered in previous posts. 73,Lee I must be dense . From what I understand you have the transmitter (no tuning

Hi Randy, If the folded dipole elements are similar to those of a Decibel DB- 420 or similar model, they are 100 ohms and can be matched with a combination of 75 ohm, and 35 ohm coax. You may also wish to use a different method of coupling both elements together with 50 ohm cable. There are

Hi, whoever you are, anonymous! The crossband repeater recieves on 400Mc and send on 145Mc or any other great jump in frequency. No external separation filters etc. needed. Great if you have the crossband up on a mountain and radios on the oposit sides of the mountain, just put it in crossband

We have tried stuffing a Diamond X-500 inside a Stationmaster radome but didn't have much luck. Never could get a good match no matter how we tried to decouple the feedline. The reason commercial manufactures don't make dual banders is because they don't always work well electrically. Dual

Sounds like an exciter problem or duplexer/cavity filter tuning drift problem, not an amplifier problem. (Assuming you are using a duplexer in the repeater) Using DB-4062 WBC--- 6 can BP/BR. Tuned per specs on 01-26-04 Duplexers actually measured at 1.8 db loss after tuning. The exciter power

Whatever you do, be sure to look at the output with a spectrum analyzer. I once had to deal with a paging company over a spurious transmitter that was keying up two-meter repeaters all over the South, and I believe, as I recall, they were using a Vocom amp. Steve, AA5SG - Original Message
