The bad antenna is the Rx antenna. It won't hear beyond about a mile after a
heavy wind storm. So swapping is not an option.

I never like the idea of leaving a known bad antenna on a tower. It will
eventually become a noise generator. Yes, sometimes you can get away with it,
but it's a real gamble. And if there are other services nearby, you could be
bothering them and not know it.

Hi Chuck,
The tower is 150' up and I keep forgetting my binoculars. But I think the
elements are simply blown away. The cable appears to be still intact. AND we
are expecting to move over to a new Cell Tower location soon and don't want to
put a lot of work and money into the current tower. And
I understand the move and money issue. Be aware that any loose hardware and/or
damaged antenna can, and often does, generate noise all on it's own when hit
with an RF source - your repeater or some other nearby transmitter.
Good luck with the move. And you got very lucky if you land a cell
?
If he can disconnect the output of the cans from the antenna
adaptor then he can split it into two separate 2 channel units.
He might have to remount two of the cans in a separate chassis
to eliminate any mutual coupling as necessary.

yeah no, i have no problem with any of that, what i did have a concern over,
was my misunderstanding of the way the question was asked
If I would to use 2 HT radios that are 4 watts each and a duplexer that is
35 watts to build a portable repeater, would my repeater be 4 watts or 35
watts?
Is it possible to mod a maxtrac for cw operation for a ham 6 meter repeater. If
not maxtrac what about other Motorola or GE Radios.

Ok so here's what I've got (I think)

Hi all,
I've been interested in building a repeater for a while now, but before I do, I
guess the first step is in knowing whether or not a repeater is needed for my
area.
I live in Houston and have an excellent area for putting up a repeater *if* one
is needed, but how do I go about finding

Question:
Any reason that BURY FLEX can't or shouldn't be used ( short run of 20ft)
in repeater service as a short transmission line? -Mike

I would get into contact with the repeater coordinater for that area. They
should be able to make recommendations for frequency pairs, PL tones, and power
output. I know that's what they try to do here in Oklahoma, I'm sure other
states are very similar.

Houston has a wealth of repeaters but nothing wrong with gaining the
knowledge(that's the main reason I built one). I'm in Houston too, feel
free to give me a call, or email and I'll point you in the right direction.
I might be interested in your location since mine is in need of a better
Chucks right on the money.
Do the next guy a favor and remove the useless junk from the tower.

I'm not understanding something.
The subject line says CW beacon, the body
of your message refers to CW operation
and
Do you mean a CW ID ?
