Hmmm... using that logic, you can have the most reliable repeater by not putting it on the air at all. That way, it will last forever. :-) (provided it's not using tubes) Actually, I would tend to think that like us, periodic exercise isn't a bad thing for a repeater. It will help keep the caps

Ed, You have nailed it exactly. It's a classic case. Circulators on each transmitter should help but any rusty bolt, moisture, or loose hardware near the antennas can contribute to the problem. This is not a good frequency pairing and will always be giving problems. 73, Al, K9SI Date:

The individual elements on a Signals array are each 50 ohms. Those elements have a larger diameter element where the feedline attaches, (up to the bend). I've tested those and can confirm. However, I've never tested one of the single Decibel elements. Now, please keep in mind that I am talking

If the value for Receiver B is also based upon a 12dB SINAD, yes, Receiver A is more sensitive. Expressed another way, Receiver B requires 40% more signal than Receiver A to achieve the same degree of quieting. Even so, a value of 0.35uV for 12dB SINAD is satisfactory for most applications. 73,
