I don't know why. I'm just the messenger (I report - you decide; good thing this isn't a Motorola-trademarked phrase!). Maybe it was picking up energy from the super stationmaster on 444.5 that's about 5 feet away, sending it down the coax, and getting something reflected back up and radiating

Was just quoted a price on the TX-RX duplexers, they were right about $900.00 with a discount bringing them to about $750.00 in that ball park. Actually, if I remember right, they were rated at only 200 watts.Mathew "Bob M." [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It was a TxRx 4-can duplexer. The specs

Well Bob I'd bet the problem is gone for good. There's nothing like having really good feed back from your antenna to the area of your receiver with out going through the receive side of the duplexer. It sounds like a little item called a passive repeater, think about it. I'm interested in

It was a TxRx 4-can duplexer. The specs were 100dB, and it made that but just barely (102-103 is what I measured). 1.1dB passband loss. I could get the model number, but I believe it's a stock model, just tuned for the ham band. They use RG142 throughout. The connectors on the duplexer look like

They use BNC's. In my opinion, the best UHF duplexer out there. Chuck WB2EDV Bob M. wrote: It was a TxRx 4-can duplexer. The specs were 100dB, and it made that but just barely (102-103 is what I measured). 1.1dB passband loss. I could get the model number, but I believe it's a stock model,
