Just want to clarify one thing. As I read the orignal post, I understood it to
mean that he was inquiring about taking the test on line which is not possible.
All tests are administered through Volunteer Examineers... You can find a local
group of VEs and testing schedules on the ARRL web

If you can't find a used one, Piexx makes an aftermarket equivalent for this

New boards from Piexx are cheaper than the quoted price for a used board on
Ebay.

If you go to this site on the Repeater Builder web page there is a very nice
and inexpensive fiberglass antenna for 220 MHz. I'm running one on my repeater
without issues.
Antenna is made by Tram.

I've seen references to the use of a 440 duplexer on the
third harmonic for 1.2 GHZ use... What would be better, a plain
notch type, 4 or 6 cavitiy unit, or a BP/BR type... Thinking
that the notch reject would be easier especially when considering
it's a 20 MHz split for 1.2 repeaters.
Dave
I have a Phelps Dodge 506-1 four cavity duplexer. Just recently picked up two
additional cavities from someone who was parting out his duplexer... all
cavities
are BP/BR... Would like to add these to the duplexer to get additional
isolation.
The original duplexer is spec'd at 80 dB isolation...
John,
I have a Wavetec 2100, same as the CT... I bought an operation manual from W7FG
vintage manuals, and recently a service manual on CD from Ebaydoing a web

THIS IS ABSOLUTLY
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.

With all of this discussion, is either the Q202 or its cousins or the new Q2330

MHz split? Putting a new machine on the air and need to know if I should go

Skipp,
As a personal acquaintance of Gil W2EUP (GLB Electronics) I know that he sold
the business before he became a silent key... The buyers retained his
pre-selector design and are still producing new ones, if you are interested

You might also want to consider the approach shown in the article on p 76 in
the November 2008 issue of QST where
a boost regulator has been placed in line...This will allow the equipment to
still see 13.5 to 13.8 volts even where the battery has discharged below the
12 volt level.

Yes,
No obligation to co-ordinate your repeater. However, and this I have
seen this personally,(fortunately in my favor) in an interference issue
or complaint the first question the FCC asks is this repeater
coordinated? Even if you have been on that pair for centuries and the
coordinators
Try to convince your local frequency cooridnator that the current trend
is 20 MHz splits.
I asked for one and got a 12.5 which makes my TH-55 useless. Hope you
