Mathew, No, you should not disturb any of the hookups between your duplexer and antenna, transmitter, or receiver. What I meant by a separate antenna is one connected to the output of your service monitor, and which radiates a signal that is picked up by your repeater antenna. This method will

You want the user to be a bit noisy when you do that test. If you then turn your repeater TX on and nothing changes, you don't have desense. Chuck WB2EDV - Original Message - From: Mathew Quaife [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, July 26, 2004 10:48

Will give that a try tomorrow and see if it is the same and take it from there. I'm almost betting it is the Handhelds with the elevated pl tone output. Going to have to give another stab at making an iso tee to work with. Thanks for the input. Will let you know how it comes out. Mathew
