That unit would have needed a C800 or C900 control head and was most likely a SP build for a Federal agency, several generations back as radio systems go. The dual RX allowed the radio top have good sensitivity in both the 163 and 167 ranges as the front end filtering were not that wide and/or

[Repeater-Builder] Diamond X500HNA antenna

I recall seeing posts from several who have used the Diamond X500HNA antennas with good results. We've got a VHF machine with one of these that's going back up. It was taken down because of a noise problem and sent back to Diamond for repair. It was/will be top mounted. For those who are

A group I was in used to use both some Comet and Diamonds. We soldered the element joints AND covered the radome joints with the fancy heatshrink with the glue in it. They held up for at least 5 years before I moved and lost track of them -- they were also top supported, and I think that

Can some one with one of those fancy programs like Comm-Shop run it and tell me the max power a Exec II on UHF ham band run with a 75 isolation mobile duplexer. Assuming that the coax and ant are a ideal setup. Randy WB8ART

I'm betting it was 60/40 since it was just the Kester spool in one of the guy's bags. On May 27, 2009, at 1:04 PM, Paul Holm wrote: Did you use silver solder or typical 60/40 or 50/50 solder? - Original Message - From: Cort Buffington A group I was in used to use both some

Randy, Using a TX frequency of 443.000 MHz and a RX frequency of 448.000 MHz, and with a receive sensitivity of 0.35 uV, my CommShop program calculates that 100 watts of TX power requires at least 74 dB of isolation. Since a mobile (notch only) duplexer is hardly an ideal choice, I'd suggest

Thanks Eric, That is exactly what I was needing to know. This will give us a good starting point and since it is looking to run only 35 watts it should be OK. That is better than I expected. Anyway I believe it, (the duplexer) is only rated at 50 watts. Your a gentleman a scholar. Thanks
