[Repeater-Builder] HYT Repeater vs. Trbo Repeater
Has anyone done any comparison testing between the HYT Repeater and The Motorola Trbo repeater? I am particulary interested in making a future purchase of either one. I have read about the IPsec concerns and that to me is really not an issue. I am sure that HYT will address that concern as time goes forward. From what I have been told, the Trbo consists of 2 mobile radios used for receive and the other for transmit. Whereas, HYT is one radio with a Duplexed receiver and transmitter well isolated from each other. It is also my understanding that the company HYT's vendors are more user friendly in pricing and support compared to Motorola when it comes to accessories, firmware updates and programming. Thanks in advance for any information. Artie k2aau

Larry: I am using a version 2 TKR 850 with an Angle Linear GAas Fet Pre-amp with a bandpass cavity. Exc results without desense. The preamp is before the cavity. As I agree with the other writers, you will need to retune the receiver for optimum performance. Invest in a Good Commercial Antenna is key. Don't waste your money on a Ham Antenna as I learned not too long ago. Huge difference in performance! Good Luck!

[Repeater-Builder] ENHANCED RECEIVE
I have heard of repeater owners using pre-amps on the receive side of the duplexer and adding 1 pass-reject cavity after the preamp and placing a pre-amp on the pass reject cavity to enhance more receive. Does this work or is it a myth? Artie k2aau
