I think it's a standard Molex or Amp connector. You might be able to buy it from Mouser or Digikey. I can get the Motorola part numbers for the cable end but you will pay less elsewhere (unless it's a custom part). I can get you the wiring for it, but I'd guess the center pin is ground and the

[Repeater-Builder] Quarter Wave Stubs/Notching Interference

I'm working on collocating a 2-meter remote base with our repeater, and naturally every time the repeater transmits, it makes the remote-base radio totally deaf. I've been playing with quarter-wave stubs with some success (and have lots more ideas/experimenting in mind) but would like to hear

Geez, Mike, you're not asking for much, are you? I assume you are using a half-duplex radio for the link, and it receives on 145.110 MHz and transmits to the distant repeater on 144.510 MHz. So, you need a high-Q notch at 146.850 MHz to protect the link receiver at 145.110 MHz, while not

Eric, Yeah. we're always trying to do something for nothing! We're a low-budget operation and I'm pretty much left to my own devices to try things that the club wants to do. The good thing is, if this one just doesn't come to fruition, we haven't spend any money on it. The radio is an

The GE Mastr II UHF exciters that I have are not PLL.  They do use the direct FM Icom that is used on the VHF PLL exciter, but the UHF model just multiplies the crystal frequency like the phase modulated exciter.  It is a very straightforward tune up, peak and dip like the phase modulated

You can try lowering the antenna. You can try a better antenna, one with a better front to back ratio and better side lobe rejection. If that does not work, you can try something that we do to our microwave dishes when we receive off axis interference, place a shield near the side of the yagi
