[Repeater-Builder] Andrew DB436-2 Phasing transformer

Does anyone have any information on the Andrew DB436-2 Phasing Transformer used as a phasing harness to connect two Andrew DB-436A antennas together? I need to build one for a remote RX site. I have the information on the DB-5009 dual yagi mounting bracket. Thanks, -- James Adkins, KB0NHX Vice-

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Controller recommendations

The ability to program over-the-air, via phone line, or through the optional RS-232 port was one of the big advantages of the ACC controllers in the 1980's. This was a controller that was way in front of the curve, but the cost was prohibitive for the average ham. 73, Joe, K1ike On 7/19/201

S-Com can be a love/hate relationship. The older models did not have an RS-232 interface, so you needed to keep track of everything religiously on paper. BUT, they seemed to last forever. I have a few of them and they have never glitched..never. The newer S-Com controller has all the b

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Duplxer, tuned cavity question.

Good advice. The only thing that I would add is that you need to use good quality equipment for the antenna system. This includes the duplexer, jumpers, connectors, cable and antenna. When you have a situation where two transmitters can be on the air at the same time on the same antenna syst

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Duplxer, tuned cavity question.

Assuming from reading between the lines that you want to use both stations on the same antenna, get a 2 meter duplexer. The seperation between the 2 frequencies is 0.64 MHz. At bare minimum you need a notch (reject) duplexer but a bandpass-band reject type would probably be the better choice.
