[Repeater-Builder] Awfully quiet today

Comcrap cable has an e-mail outage that started Saturday morning around 7-8am EDT. I've been told you can still send messages out but you can't check for, or receive messages using your favorite mail program. Their web-based SmartZone e-mail program also is down, so you're screwed either way.

Are you feeling nostalgic for a vintage service monitor? If so I may have just the thing for you. A working Cushman CE5 with dev scope and tunable VHF preselector. Also included are the front cover, antenna, output pad, service manual on CD and original hardcopy manual for the CRT plugin.

1 cant answer to the info on your duplexer, you have not given any info on the make model you need to tune your duplexer to the pair you are useing .. 2 you should have a 1.1 match from the duplxer and the radio ( if the duplexer is tuned right) and a 1.1 match from the duplexer to the ant if

1 How close in frequency to the tuned pair? Normally no, it will only work for the frequencies it is tuned to... Especially with a notch only system like a mobile duplexer, which might only have maybe 40 or 50 dB isolation to start with... You make up the difference by having a 5 MHz

Oh yes, I didn't answer your last question Typically 1.3 to 1.5 dB loss in a four cavity duplexer, possibly up to 2 db or slightly higher for a siz cavity system. - Original Message - From: tait700 To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, April 04, 2009 10:12

One major difference is that Comcrap is a business. Verizon, aka Ma Bell, is a utility. Look how much better job is done by the Public Utility Control groups on prices for telcos, and how cable tv rates just keep climbing and climbing as the channel choices become less and less. I wasn't home
