Re: Major Desense
I have a telewave 6 cavity duplexer, that into a dummy load has no desense. None. I am convinced that my 147 MHz RF is into the broad band amps, and they are doing a wonderful job of spitting it back.

Adjusting power level on a Kenwood TKR 850
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the power output for high and or low power on a Kenwood TKR 850 repeater? I know there's a pot inside the repeater but can someone advise me on what it's labeled? Chad

I am the kind of person who likes to test things myself so I know exactly what it says and what it's doing. And if someone would offer me a free DB 224 I would jump on it in a second! Chad Nelson

Re: quantar use for 2meter repeater
Then my guess is, it actually IS a high split transmitter and the VCO is not locking as low as you'd like it to (technically OOB). Change your TX frequency to something above 150 and see if it starts
