OK, I know I've mentioned this before, but I think I'm on to something now... I wanted to have a stand alone repeater linker, kind of a crossband repeater, that would link uhf and vhf repeaters together without needing to make any changes to either repeater. The problem I ran into is when the

Can you not get the cooperation of the operators of the repeaters you want to link? Without that, the technical issues will be the least of your problems. If they approve, the PL solution can actually work quite well. The decision to be part of a linked system belongs to the licensee of each

Rich, it sounds like an antenna, feedline, or tower/site issue. The easiest way to find out would be a dummy load connected in place of your antenna. Operate into the repeater locally with an ht and listen for any noise. What you're describing is a fairly common problem with repeaters that

Most duplexers are passive, mechanical devices. You did say the cavities had been visually inspected and cleaned so we can assume the cans themselves are fine. In my opinion the single component on a duplexer that's most likely to fail would be the cable harness and its associated

2010-01-20 Thread Eric Lemmon
Since the typical BpBr duplexer uses an adjustable capacitor to tune the notch, I would think that one or more of those capacitors would be the most likely component to be damaged by a lightning-induced surge. For example, a Sinclair Q202G duplexer uses Johanson piston capacitors which have

Yes, its certainly possible a piston capacitor could be damaged due to lightening, but I'd think this would more apply to a direct hit scenario. It'd also be very apparent during tuning and would likely have a profound impact on system performance. There are also many cavites that don't
