That is true for band pass filters but in the case of a duplexer the filters are usually notch type (or pass/notch). So the more notch type cans there are the wider the notch will be at some given frequency. Think of it as an upside down band pass response. Note that the pass response of a band

Hi Joel, There's going to be a lot of "if"s in this next text... If your service monitor will generate an RF Signal and allow an external modulation or sweep input (control). A lot of this depends on the range of external control available on your service monitor. You might be able to se

Doug, It has always been my experience that adding two or more cans in series always narrows the bandpass, not widen it.  The first can will show a given dB down at x frequency away from the center tune.  Adding the second can will decrease the level by the sum of the two at the same x frequency

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Frequency Change do I retune duplexer?

TX/RX will be very close to that as it is the nature of ganging 2 pass /reject cans on each side of a duplexer... 2 cans on each side actually widens things out as compared to one, but 2 are deeper passes and reject notches than one three cans gets wider/deeper yet... 4 cans winds

Most band pass / band reject will be plenty wide - I measured over 200 Khz on a Wacom 678 that I use with 3 UHF close spaced combined trunking repeaters (some minor loss). I don't believe re-tuning will be needed. Steve NU5D garyp609 wrote: > If a repeater was on 447.575 and the frequency was
