[Repeater-Builder] Intermod problem?

2004-10-05 Thread Mr John Lloyd
Q, I had a IM problem several years ago with our 146.940 repeater. The repeater was a GE MastrII station with a dual isolator on the transmitter and a bandpass bandreject duplexer. The antenna was a Sinclair SRL229 mounted to a 40 Ft wood pole. The other transmitters found in the IM mix were AM

Trying to troubleshoot an intermod??? problem between two repeaters. The 146.10/.70 repeater's receiver gets blasted by the 147.90/.30 transmitter but only when they are both transmitting. Yes,the transit freqs are 600khz apart and they are only 5 miles apart. Would a circulator help this

I would try one or two bandpass cavities between the duplexer and the receiver of the victim repeater. The symptom you describe is that of poor selectivity and possibly receiver IM. A ferrite isolator on either transmitter won't have much effect on signals that mix in the receiver front end.

The isolator might fix the problem. The second harmonic of the 146.7 is 293.4. If you subtract 147.3, it comes up right on your input, 146.1.(Classic 2A-B intermod) Same thing is going on with the other freqs. Could also be mixing in your RX, or about any other non-linear spot between the two

I agree. We have had similar problems with 146.745 and 147.345, 146.67, and 147.27, 146.625, and 147.225 here locally. All of these were traced to mixing in the PA stage of the repeaters. In some instances, isolators were needed on both repeaters to eliminate the problem totally. Kevin

Maybe not the answer you want to hear, but have the uncoordinated repeater (147.300 or 146.670) solve the problem. If that means moving location farther away, so be it. ;- As for the technical side, it may help, but it all depends on where the mixing is happening. Joe M. Q wrote: Trying to

By that statement, you are saying that the 146.670 repeater is coordinated? If so, what is the callsign and location? eMail me privately if you wish. Joe M. Q wrote: Unfortunately,only the 147.30 is un-coordinated. Now for the politics of the hobby... - Original Message - From:
