I think I'm the guy about the filter, and the offer stands, but I agree, you need to see where in the chain it's being generated.     BTW: Since I was up there last, I took our old maggiore TX off the air, and it was similar to yours, slightest adjustment makes it a comb generator.  Also, the c

David,   the "Fix" for a Maggiore repeater working in to a duplexer becoming a "comb generator" is to put a small antenna tuner between the TX and the duplexer. We fixed a problem here by doing that.   The "Z" matcher that was discussed on here while back would work as well.   73 John VE3AM

A quickie on how the maggiore squelch circuit "works". (when/if it decides to.) The five transistor chip is the heart of it, but not all of it. The first transistor is just a linear amplifier. The second is biased class C, and interacts a bit with the third. The third is a little interesting, I

  Well...  Antennas don't create signals. Your antenna may well be interacting with your amp in an odd way. but it's not the antenna that's making the spurs.   Can you add more feedline, so that the total length you added to the system is an even multiple of a wavelength?
