How do I find out? I used the Mitrek on 52.525 with a bunch
of computers in the area, and found it to be quite quiet. My
Alinco DR-M06 is horrible at noise rejection on the other
hand. Both radios hooked to the same antenna (not at the
same time, hi!) shows the Mitrek has a fantastic Receiver.
From all the replies I received, I get the impression that
either the Master II or the Mitrek will work well.
A couple other questions.....
I purchased a commercial 1/4 wave ground plane antenna. From
experience, will this suffice for the repeater, or should I
look around for a better solution? The antenna will be mounted
about 140 feet above ground feed with 1 5/8" heliax. I've been
looking around but can't find any side mounted dipoles for 6m.
Is there some other design I should look at.
The DB product duplexor has been tuned up and I got about
91 Db isolation from TX to RX. What would you recommend for
maximum TX power, to keep desence to a minimum? After visiting
the Master II mods page, they said that the transmitter doesn't
like going below 40% of maximum TX power, and it's a 110 watt
unit. Therefore, the minimum power I should set it to is
about 40 to 45 watts. Is that too much?
Ideas?
