Michael, You can't really measure the sensitivity of a repeater with an iso-tee fitting, since there is nothing to compare it to as a reference. An iso-tee is often used to assess receiver desense, but a better method uses a test antenna. It is necessary to break into the feedline to install an

A while back, the conversation was about bench sensitivity versus real world sensitivity. I would like to test the sensitivity of our repeater rx while hooked up to the duplexer, feedline and antenna. I think I need some kind of T connector to put between the duplexer and receiver. I don't
