John, how's this for an experiment...
Configure a repeater with two receivers, one built for +/- 5 kHz deviation, the
other for +/- 15, feed them from a splitter, use audio from the narrow one, but
allow a DTMF command to select the wider receiver's COS when conditions
warrant. (Obviously,

Good Day everyone,
Does anyone have experience or tuning info for a Sinclair UHF Antenna
Multicoupler? The model on the rack panel is CR4-302CF and contains a power
supply, pre-amp (or preselector) and BNC distribution box (1 to 12 outputs).
Looks like 450-470 range.
I haven't hooked this up

Those Sinclair multicouplers are intended to serve as many as 12 separate
receivers from one antenna. Ideally, all receivers should be for
frequencies that are clustered within a few MHz of each other, and the
preselector will be tuned to pass a band that is perhaps 2-4 MHz wide. The

Once you go auto feed, you'll never go back to a flat bed if

Hi Skipp,
For our Christmas present to us (my wife and myself), we purchased a Cannon
CanoScan 8800F flatbed scanner. Works really well, and has a USB interface
to our computer. There are buttons on the scanner that allows you to scan
documents and convert to either color or black white

I use double or even triple diversity on 10m 6m FM.
On 10m, I use a base-fed half-wave vertical installed right above on the same
mast as a 3-ele horizontally polarized 10m beam. That gives me rather more
polarization than space diversity but it works FB.
I have a 3rd identical rx as
By default, a voting remote receiver system does that. Two of our remote
receivers for our 2M repeater happen to be about 14 miles apart. I can hear
the link transmitters from those sites and will often switch between the two to
compare.

Right you are, Paul.
However, all it takes is several wavelength's of physical separation to reap
all of the diversity gain. Of course, that's not gain in the usual sense.
Antenna diversity has been known of since the 1920s.
To get even more diversity, one could have two sets of H V

Perhaps one the remaining contributions we could make as amateurs would be
working with DSP to combine all these attributes in a standalone uP module. It
would be great to have an adaptive squelch board for retrofit into repeaters

Not quite the whole story Eric.
If the original poster is trying to use this in the ham 440 band, then the
preselector will most definitely need tuning before use.
Sinclair says their standard preselector is +/- 5 MHz.

In reference to below, what would be the real advantage to using CP antennas in
addition to the V and H you'd have already? Any signal that arrives will
excite a V and/or H antenna according to it's arriving polarization, and I
don't see where CP would be a help.
Most FM broadcasters use CP.
