Hi Mathew, Depending on your receiver front end spec, you could get away with one of the better wide split notch-notch Decibel and Sinclair duplexers we see people trying to sell on Ebay. These are the small 19 inch rack mount units vs the classic wide split (only) mobile flat packs like th

Have you considered adding a CTCSS decoder to your repeater? It won't hide the problem ... but you hopefully won't go insane in the process. Neil - WA6KLA Mark Ramsey wrote: > > Whew after nearly a year of interference to my uhf amateur radio > repeater I found the problem. Turned

First problem is going to be the ringo. GET RID OF IT As the wind blows the joints flex and cause noise in duplex operation. Second of all, the ringo isn't "great" for 2m in general.   Andy KC2GOW Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page YAHOO! GROU

We used the original Bearcat 210 as a poor mans signal generator. The frequency minus the IF (which I believe was 10.8MHz) put out a strong carrier. Been there, done that, coffee mug and tee shirt. What you need now is the Aquarium Heater or motion detector side yard light in the next neig
