Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
You guys convinced me to keep the TPL, so it is going to be put in service with the TK851.
Some things I have never tried before make me nervous to try, sounds like I have gotten

Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
All Chad needs do is drop the TKR down to 1 watt and start there...

Re: UHF Repeater Input Frequency Issues
The only problem not terminating a divider is causing some amplitude ripple in the passband. It wont hurt the associated amplifier. If the preamp was working it could improve the system noise figure

Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
The PA6-1AE should be adjustable to and stable at 70w. I second that the
TKR-851 will adequately provide a stable low drive output appropriate for
your amplifier.

Re: UHF Repeater Input Frequency Issues
We've figured out that the desensing was caused by the duplexer being out of alignment.
This pictured preamp died in a storm last night causing further issues.? That being said, you're absolutely

Or 18ft of RG-142 has about 1.5dB loss.

Re: Where did db Products go?
According to a gentleman at the dB Spectra booth at IWCE, it was not them
and they are of no relation.

Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
That's only 1.55dB less than 100w, toss another isolator or filter in line with a lossy jumper and keep the amp.

Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
I am keeping second guessing myself on this. Not sure if I can run 100W for
my coordination so trying to get the amp down to at least 70W out.

Re: F/S TPL PA6-1AE UHF amp
Really a shame.
The TKR-851 will have ZERO issues running at 3 watts to drive that amp.

Re: UHF Repeater Input Frequency Issues
Shouldn't the unused ports be terminated with 50 ohms if that is a 50 ohm system ?
I have not followed the thread all the way but does it have any desense when feeding a dummy load ?

Re: UHF Repeater Input Frequency Issues

Just curious, why do you have an eight way splitter in line to the receiver. The preamp is there to offset the loss in the splitter. Try eliminating both, but not the preselector.
