Re: PD526 Duplexer Tuning
Update on pd526: I tuned it on a recently calibrated r2670 and it tuned up nicely and easily. Less than an hour. Field tests show very little desense. Zero reflection on a bird 43 between tx and

Re: Major Desense
You said there was desense with the tx power all the way to nothing. Was it the same level of desense using the iso-T and if so, then the problem is site noise floor. ?You have to track down the

Re: Repeater Remote Monitoring System?
I use an arduino nano. I monitor RF power, Voltage, PA current, temperature, and signal strength remotely. I use the talker library and it announces all that back to me via DTMF control. You have to

Hi Mike, This may not apply to this site because no mention of AT&T, but perhaps our experience with very high noise floor to our 6M repeater that was located 600 ft away from a guyed cell tower might

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.
