Kevin: As long as the 97/R is linked to 24/R and there is no activity on the 70/R every thing is fine. Once someone transmits thru the 70/R is when the problem occurs. The 97/R has to be recv'n a signal from the 24/R and of course be transmitting for the problem to happen. If there is

Eric; Tnx fer reply. U R correct there is no circulator on either the 146.700/R or 146.970/R. I have a bandpass cavity. Which rptr does it need to go on??? The 97/R has a Bp/Br wacom 641 duplexer. The 70/R runs dual antennas w/o any filtering on the TX. Jeff (w5ppb) owns the 147.240/R and

Dennis, I believe that the most likely mixing is occurring in the PA of the 146.970 repeater, where a second harmonic is mixing with the tertiary 146.700 signal. A dual isolator on the 146.970 PA would prevent the 146.700 (or any other signal) from getting into the PA. A bandpass cavity filter
