[Repeater-Builder] Re: Adding Bandpass Can to Duplexer

Not exactly right. The length of the cable between the pass cavity and a notch or pass reject cavity has to be 1/4 wave length including the length of the loop in the bandpass cavity and that is why the cable lengths are different for different cavity brands that have different loop sizes. If the

Around the 1970s, I had an RCC repeater on 152.12/158.58 MHz in Central New York that I used both for paging with Pageboys and Bell & Howell pagers and for mobile service to a handful of users. Most of the RCCs owned telephone answering bureaus so we already had "mobile operators" who patc

RE: [Repeater-Builder] AGT = IMTS ?

Skipp, I'm just grasping at straws. The IMTS is a lot more complex than a simple duplex system that might have been used internally by AGT rather than by subscribers. Back in the late 60's, I used a half-duplex GE Pacer (!) radio in an MTS system for a couple of years after IMTS became available
