Re: The joys of ONAN power supplies in Motorola Quantar repeaters
Glenn, I am in total agreement. Also of note is that any implementation must also be in compliance with local codes. The ARRL book shows more of how NOT to do things than it does how to do things

Re: Motorola T1500 notch
Hi Skyler, What the picture inside the cavity does not show is the height above the cavity wall the probe assy is. For the probe cavities, about 15mm worked for me. DO NOT get the probes too close to

Re: Motorola T1500 notch
Skyler, Putting the BPF on each side of the flat pack should work out ok. Try it and test it out. We have a 6 cavity Wacom duplexer on Badger that has BPF cans on each side of the 4 cavity BpBr

Re: Motorola T1500 notch
Hey Skyler, You absolutely can. There's no real harm in doing it. Here are some considerations: Two true Bandpass resonators flanking your flatpack will give the total system *better* out of band

Re: Motorola T1500 notch
If you are putting up a repeater, and you own the site (house site or something), you could use just two of them and do split antennas. 20-30' of vertical separation is enough in that case. You should

Re: The joys of ONAN power supplies in Motorola Quantar repeaters

Re: Clamp meter
I currently use a Fluke AC/DC amp clamp and a Craftsman ACD/DC clamp. The craftsman measures down to the microamps, and works well. That external clamp sounds interesting Thanks and 73 Dean wrote:
