I had a set of copper copper pipe duplexers for 220 years ago. I thinnk they were 4 inch in diameter. I had a stability problem due to temperature changes. They required a "winter tune" and "summer tune" twice a year. I used them for several years and the taught me why I neede to find a good

After talking with the helpful people at Sinclair it appears that the Q-203d is indeed a wide separation (3MHz) duplexer. Thanks to all for your help. 73, KD5TKR Charles Blythe --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Charles Blythe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well, in keeping with my

Thanks Neil, So increasing the value of C138 increases the injection to the mixer I always thought the UHF Micor suffered from insufficient drive from the LO anyway. Kevin Custer Neil McKie wrote: Comes off the collector of the 3rd doubler - a coupling capacitor to the

Joe, My experience was that with silver plating, so long as it was reasonably thick (its all relative) I have had no problem with summer Vs winter tuning. Problems do arise if the plating is too thin as it tends to peel off inside detuning the cans and the only short time fix is to

I looked at a VHF PD-200 in my garage that I had apart a few years ago, the tip has a small allen screw in it. I think I loosened this screw to get the guts out of the radome. My PD-200 is noisy, this is usually caused by joints that have become intermittant. I was never able to find the bad

The epoxy sealing the three recessed screws on 120 deg centers near the aluminum mounting tube meets the fiberglass must be removed. The set screw at top must be removed and the tip heated with heat gun. Cap will come off. Don't overheat fiberglass. The complete antenna then can be removed
