[Repeater-Builder] Some help

2004-10-15 Thread Dakota Summerhawk
Looking for information on portable repeaters for use in SAR groups. Must be packable for use on hilltop operations. Can this be done and still keep the weight down and run off 12VDC? Even just a couple of HT at 5W out and a duplexer or the like would work. Suggestions? Thanks Dakota ---

I remember years ago someone was using MX300 series radios as full duplex. There was a mod for getting around the T/R relay and eliminating the muting. A small mobile UHF duplexer, and you're in business. As a matter of fact, I think the highway callboxes here in Connecticut used these

I recently wondered the same thing about a Phelps Dodge six cavity duplexer here. I found that all six cables including the two to the tee connector were the same length: 8-3/4 inches tip to tip on PL-259 connectors. (http://repeater.w4zt.com/duplexer/) The problem here was noise, lots of it,

Title: Duplexer Question Hey all, quick question about a 2 meter repeater I just put up for testing. I'm putting out about 80 watts from the PA into the duplexer, but only getting about 55 watts out of the antenna port on the duplexer. This seems kind of high to me. The specs of the

Title: Duplexer Question Your insertion loss may be a little high. It is under 3.0 dB, but is over 1.5 dB. (80, 40, 20...) Unless I am mistaken, your power out of the duplexer should be a tad over 60W to meet specs. Steve - Original Message - From: Kevin Bednar To:

Title: Duplexer Question Thanks. I found the problem. Bad N connector on the TX cable which was also causing the desense. I upped the power to 100 watts into the duplexer and get 80 out the antenna port which is within spec, and now have no desense! :) Kevin From: Steve Grantham
