well for GMRS you need to have one listed for type 95 use and to get that you need to buy one. get your cash out as you can do it for 300 to 400$ and it will be yours. simple and it is a done deal and yes I also did it, in Florida [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The cavity / isolator example I referenced is similar to a normal duplexer with the exception of using a five way star "T" and then critical length jumpers from the "T" to each cavity. There is another form of cavity / isolator combiner that uses an isolator and two cavities per channel in a daisy chain format that can be used for many channels at a time. Look at Telewave (among others) for an overview of T-pass style combiners.

I've got two similar systems for two different customers, one wouldn't even think of wanting to push the channel selector when traveling to distant end of a system. The other less hands on customer has no problem going to channel 2 in the south area type operation. Some thoughts would be a repeater at each site, different frequencies and linked by phone line or radio (You can use a radio link to avoid leased line costs). You could use the same rx input frequency and different tx frequencies when you have a voter in play. Keep your existing setup, just add a transmitter at the B site. Depending on how you dial up the coverage area with antennas & power level a same frequency tx will work in both Simulcast and non simulcast operation, but the areas of overlap in the non-simulcast system will clash. Depending on power and antennas, the overlap can be controlled and you use the capture effect in some areas. It does work and a case can be made for using it. The costs of a simulcast system can quickly get out of hand. It looks like your most practical choice would be to add a second repeater tx at the B site. Simply link them via the leased line or radio. You can license up a full repeater pair, but use only the tx frequency if you like the single rx frequency voter system. If you wanted to keep the voter system in play, simply add a second frequency tx at the B site, enable the link for duplex operation and supply the A site tx audio back to the B Site transmitter. Add the B site to your customers radios and tell the users 325 times how the system works in specific areas. works great, plays well... cheers, skipp skipp025 at yahoo.com www.radiowrench.com >[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > I need some help from the think tank, > > I have two sites, site "A" and site "B".

Sounds about right. I thought they were Sinclair. > They could also be part of a hybrid ring design although the > can is the same regardless of the type of filter. I don't think these were a Hybrid ring. There are 6 of them. I have never seen a hybrid ring where 6 cans were needed. usually 4 cans provides more than enough isolation in a hybrid ring. The other thing that points me toward a standard set of duplexers is that the partial harness that I got: 1. didn't have enough wire to be a hybrid ring - besides, don't the hybrid rings usually use crimp tees instead of threaded connectors? 2. almost had enough wire to make a standard duplexer configuration. I am short one stub though. I only have 5. > Try them on the tracking generator over a much wider range (like > 130-160MHz) You should see two notches, one above and one below the > pass.

It seems I can't get rid of enough capacitance in the rods to get to 600Khz. They come close, but won't quite make 600KHz. I think that if I had a proper harness with the correct length cables, that things may come and be right. The rods came with varying lengths of inner conductor. I have tried these varying lengths to no avail. I'm not sure why there would be different length centers, but I guess that's part of the mystery of buying a used set of duplexers!! > Just a guess, but try adding a near-1/4 wavelength of coax between the T & > can connector. I once turned a pass cavity into a pass-notch that > way. Perhaps the 1/4 wavelength will transform the LPHR into HPLR? I have also tried this. It definitely changed things, but the tuning all went weird. Again, I was hoping to find some info so I knew how they were supposed to be cabled. > Also are you getting decent specs out of the current LPHR response (~40 dB > notch, 0.7 dB pass loss)? The can we were working with was great as a LPHR can. It had good notch and good pass response. >Looks like the stub was absonded from a set of Wacom cavities in an attempt to make the cavity into a BpBr type. I don't think that this is the case. The Wacom stubs have hose clamps at the end of the stubs. These have a ring and a nut soldered to either side of a slit with a screw in them to make tension. I would like to thank John, VE3AMZ. He sent me a spec sheet on 1-150 series of cans, but the cans shown in the pictures seem to be the older spun cans. Also, The 150 series seems to only go to a 4 can set (3R7). According to the diagrams, (no measurements) one side has 2 ports per can and the other only has 1 port per can. The cans that I have all have only one port per can.

Thanks Glenn, I'll have to think about that one. It's dry as heck up there at that altitude, but of course, there's always a possibility that a rain shower or snowstorm gives high relative humidity numbers up there from time to time... Will look for weird "traces" or burn marks where they shouldn't be under good light after the dead one comes down to the house for a workbench visit. Personally, I think the solution is that they're just lonely -- they miss the nice warm workbench so they do anything in their power to come down off the mountain.
