Hi, I had a SRL-320 10 DB UHF antenna till a year and a half ago and lightning hit it and I had splinters and brass tubes in my yard. It worked great as it was cut for the ham band. Check the pigtail for cracks in the jacket of the coax and if bad replace it.. It was a good antenna till

Sold many of them, typical with a well tuned duplexer is about 10 watts best, average 8-9 watts. Would not waste any money trying to find a weak part, if the duplexer is ok, leave it alone till it quits completely, won't see any difference between 9 12 watts. Tracomm --- In

Yep, same here. Worked great until the lightning strike. That was the last fiberglass antenna for me and haven't had a problem since using folded dipole designs. I do know of folded dipole arrays that have taken direct hits and suffered no damage but know of no fiberglass antennas that have

Re: [Repeater-Builder] PL vs. DPL

2009-03-03 Thread Chuck Kelsey
Depends on what you are trying to accomplish. If your intent is to try to somewhat restrict users, DPL would help accomplish this. Many potential users wouldn't try encoding DPL if they were attempting to find your tone. Some might, but most would probably just give up and move on. At least

Basically the name and the general form factor are the only similarities. The hardware is completely different. 2 different generations of design. Nothing interchangeable except the microphone and that is only on some of them. Later mics on exec II were different Doug At 05:06 PM

Jason, The upside to using DPL (CDCSS) for repeater access is that few, if any, wannabe users will be able to get in- IF you encode a different code (DPL or PL) than you decode. If your repeater passes through the incoming code to the output, you have already given the hackers the clues that

Jim, Some manufacturer's catalogs for ferrite isolators are misleading. When any manufacturer states that his model xxx is available for 136-174 MHz (for example), it does NOT mean that you can field-tune that product to operate anywhere within the 136-174 MHz band. It is not often clearly

Are you measuring the power right at the TX connector, or are you measuring at the duplexer output (antenna) connector? The specified RF output of any transmitter is normally that measured at the output connector of the transmitter, not after the duplexer. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -Original
