Re: [Repeater-Builder] Fiberglass antenna protective coating?
In early versions the radials were installed at a 90 degree angle from the mast. Later versions angled them down at about 45 degrees from the mast. In all cases they were secured with a band clamp and most installers simply left them off. The antenna will work just fine without them. IIRC VHF were probably 18 and UHF were 6 long Milt N3LTQ - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, March 24, 2006 1:27 AM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Fiberglass antenna protective coating?

Not necessarily answering your question, but RG400 is the same cable with a stranded center conductor rather than one solid center conductor. It flexes easier. Same size and construction.

[Repeater-Builder] Yoke - for mounting duplexer cavities
Good Day All: I'm looking for a source for the plastic part that Sinclair uses in their duplexers for holding the cans to the cross rails. I found out they call it a 'yoke', but so far have been unsuccessful in getting a part number or price out of them to order some. (Or an RMA for a Circulator, but that's another story). Due to a building that is really tight on space, I've stripped the duplexer out of the cabinet and mounted the cans to the ceiling. Now I've got a couple of more cavities to mount, and am out of the 'yokes' from the duplexer. Any suggestions or locations to find those sorts of mounting brackets. I'm familiar with how TX/RX does just the L bracket for the hose clamp, but prefer the spacing the plastic piece from Sinclair provides. Thanks Chuck Yahoo!

[Repeater-Builder] Re: Adding Bandpass Can to Duplexer
Dwayne, you are right... The cable length Mst be 1/4 electrical wave length to come out right just like the ones on your exesisting duplexer. This is shorter than the calculated wavelength in free space because the RF propegates slower in coax than free space. You have to determine the velocity factor of the cabel that you are using between the duplexer and the cavity and then use it to determine the correct length. Cut the cable as exactly as possible to that length THEN put the connectors on it. I have added a bandpass and and an additoinal reject filter to the receive side of my Duplexer and it works very well. I use a preamp to make up for all the loss. Good luck AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, ldgelectronics [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Bob, I think you got it right on. Placing in random lengths of cables (out of the junk drawer) between the band pass and the duplexer got different results. Re-reading the VE2AZX duplexer theory paper on the Repeater- Builder web site verified that the cable should be shorter than a 1/4 wavelength. It seems it's pretty random on what the proper length should be depending on the can used. The PD-1173 can used a shorter jumper than a DB-4001 can. This is probably where the right angle connector trick would come into play. Thanks for you input, that really helped track it down. Dwayne Kincaid WD8OYG I think the length of coax you use between that BP filter and the rest of the duplexer is critical. I have a 900 MHz duplexer that has a BP filter and a BP/BR filter on each side. The BP filter gives me 25dB attenuation 25 MHz away, and the BP/BR gives me about 45dB. But when connected together with what seems to be a 1/2 wavelength coax, I get 90dB attenuation. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, somehow. I'd suggest trying a piece of coax that's the same length as what's being used now, which might be 1/4 or 1/2 wavelength, to couple your BP filter to the duplexer. Bob M. == --- ldgelectronics ldgyahoo@ wrote: This seems like a perplexing problem. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction. I have a TPD 1554, 4-can VHF duplexer. It provides about 77 db of isolation with 1.4 db of loss. This is just about what the spec says, so that all looks good. I happen to have some extra PD-1173 VHF band pass cans, so I'm thinking of adding a can on each side to get the rejection up to 85 db or so for use on a VHF repeater (Exec II base station at 25 watts). The bandpass can by its self shows about 0.5 db loss and 8 db of rejection at 600 KHz. The curve on the spectrum analyzer looks good and the return loss is very good (-40). Here is where it gets messed up. I added a can on the duplexer on the radio side (let's just say the RX side). The loss goes up to 1.9 db as expected and the return loss is still good. But when I go to measure the rejection, it now shows only 73 db. How can this be? Everything uses double sheilded cable and attenuator pads are used on the input and output to the analyzer. It seems like the rejection should be additive, but for some reason it's not showing up that way. Anyone know why? Dwayne Kincaid WD8OYG __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Builder 1480 VHF/UHF Antenna
They work good...not as good as a single band antenna,but any dual band antenna is a compromise. Well constructed with the exception of that mounting clamp,replace it before you mount it anywhere. 73,Lee Jim Cicirello wrote: Hello to Kevin and the group: I am putting together my 1480 VHF/UHF Dual Band 6/8 dB Collinear Base Station Antenna. While checking the pigtail I made up for the antenna, I discovered that I didn't have any measurable continuity between the center conductor inside the radome to the center of the S0239, however I have 0 ohms between the center element in the radome to the outside of the S0239, i.e. ground. There is a matching coil in the area of the radials. I am presuming that the center of the S0239 is probably connected to the center element through a capacitive coupling. For clarity, I brought out the second antenna and checked it without the pigtail and get the same readings. I am sure the antenna is OK, but would like to understand how the center of the antenna is coupled to the center of the S0239. The larger 9/11 dB version I bought at Dayton does not have any measurable continuity between the center and ground, so I presume it is the same design, just larger in size for gain. This is a great antenna! Any information on how these Repeater Builder 1480 Antenna work, would solve my curiosity. 73 JIM KA2AJH Wellsville, N.Y. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
