This will all change dramatically as systems migrate to the M/A-Com OpenSky

I use the method often. Your results will vary depending upon several
factors including the voltage level at which you perform the insulation
test, type of dialectric, and what kind (and how many) arrestors may be
inline. Generally speaking you should be able to perform a good high
resistance test
Whoops! My last message should have read Moisture intrusion may only conduct if
the dialectric is saturated at some point but light condensation may not conduct
at all especially
at lower voltages.

Anyone in the group have an extra 220-MHz duplexer lying around? I am

Thanks 73,

There's definitely a power rating, and at 50 ohms you
can figure out the RMS voltage, then the peak-to-peak
voltage, but that won't be the breakdown voltage that
the insulation is capable of. Those specs are
available on the Andrew web page under Heliax.
The only thing that I can think of that
