Greetings all,
Please pardon my ignorance, but with the group of experts who hang out on
this reflector I'd prefer getting the straight-poop from those who have
'been-there/done-that', rather than trying to find the correct answer the
old-fashioned way!
I'm considering adding a control link to
for it. Is this obsolete software? I see that
they now sell a Windows version.

FWIW, we installed a splicing kit at our site last summer to replace a piece
of damaged 7/8. The loss was negligible, especially compared to what it
would have cost us to replace an additional 250' of helix.

Ron is right. Tone is a band-aide, not a cure all. The way it ‘solves’ many
problems is through masking the interference. The interference is still
present, and when the interference is present at the same time as a valid
signal, the interference again appears on the repeater output.

My club repeater system consists of a KRP-5000 feeding (what we think is) a
DB-224 mounted on a watertower at about 140'. The feedline is about 170
feet of one-inch helix. We'd been getting some comments from users about
decreased coverage, but had attributed most of them to the
return
loss test sweeps which show what a properly operating DB224 looks like
that I could send you for comparison.

I'm restoring a lightning-struck Kendecom Mark 4 to use as a back-up

Originally, we thought that as well, but we set the squelch up quite a bit
and the problem persisted. We did manage to 'solve' the problem by setting
the squelch very tight (about 2/3 of the way through its rotation, and the
noise level is about 1/3 of the way through the rotation).
Oh goodie... something else for my tiny little brain to keep track of!
So... aside from changing names more often then some people change their
underwear, how's their reputation. (Okay... I realize that NOW is a heck of
