Hi Walter, Actually we are evaluating ROIP products for a major dealer network where my job is purely RF engineering for OEM compatibility. Granted, I am casting a rather wide net here on a fact finding mission to see if the group is aware of any other brands that I had not covered. As for

What is the makeup and configuration of your repeater? Brand of different units? What is on the other ports of the triplexer? What kind of an antenna and feedline? All this will help to sort out potential solutions. 73, Joe, K1ike Dr. Ron Johnson wrote: We are using a comet 324 triplexer

Here in the states, the legal term for those is 'control stations'. It's not 'semi-duplex', it's 'half-duplex'. 2 frequencies, receiver mutes during TX. But you STILL haven't answered the main part of the question: What features at what price point? BTW, you might also want to ask this on the

Hi Ron, You might be dealing with an intermod generation problem in the antenna. I'd suggest using a coaxial signal injector, a 60dB coupler or a tee with the third port center pin removed - something like that, on the common port of the triplexer, or between it and the 2M receiver. Using a

Thanks for all the good suggestions. I am using hardline jumpers from the duplexer to the triplexer and then a double shielded silver plated jumper over to the 7/8 inch cable to the antenna. All connectors are factory spec, silver plated...no junk and no homemade connectors. The 2m, 220,

I didn't see anyone mention the coax leads on the triplexer itself. These are probably copper braid and not suitable for duplex service. I'd replace them with *silver* plated double shield coax or Superflex, with properly installed connectors. Or, replace the triplexer with one that has

Per the service manual the 9.4 volt regulator has the rating of 1.1 amps at 80 degrees C. The voltage range is 9.2 to 9.7 volts. The 13 volts for the receiver and exciter is 1.4 amps. George Henry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Since I have not yet succeeded in getting my hands on the MSR2000
