Len Try orienting the yagi horizontally.  That should increase side rejection of the offending signal.  Jeff - - NJ5R --- On Sun, 9/28/08, n2len [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: n2len [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] UHF LINK ANTENNA QUESTION HELP NEEDED! To:

Although it really only masks the problem, you can use CTCSS tone to avoid hearing the distant transmitter. Of course, the repeater you're linking to must encode CTCSS, and your link must decode it. A more technical approach is to use a modest-gain Yagi antenna pointed directly at the offending

For now I received permission to link directly on their input until the club installs a remote base and yagi next spring. There repeater is about 20 air miles away. I am using a 5 element UHF Yagi about 45 feet up a 170 Rohn 65 at my hub site! The Yagi is facing due West. The link works

You can try lowering the antenna. You can try a better antenna, one with a better front to back ratio and better side lobe rejection. If that does not work, you can try something that we do to our microwave dishes when we receive off axis interference, place a shield near the side of the yagi

I doubt if you would get repeater council approval to link at that power level, most linking is done 15-20 miles with 3-5 watts and then someone might turn it up to 10 watts to overcome foliage and insure a reliable path in horrible weather. dy3lmk143_13mhz wrote: I've never had experience on

I can't help you much with the connection method, but I can give you an example of how much power is needed to link repeaters. My IRLP node, located at my house, is linked to the repeater using small beam antennas over a distance of about 12 miles. Even with an intervening hill, it is done using

Here in Southern California the surrounding border-areas, there are several systems with long paths on 420MHz (the same as 440MHz path behavior). One of the longest is ~165 miles @ 13W before duplexer/feedline losses. 10-20W is quite typical for links, and 50W is overkill for most. Most of
