I don't post here very often, but in MY opinion and repeater that works properly is a good repeater.?They ALL have pros and cons that change depending on the use, and environmental

Aaron, I totally agree with you, we need the inputs from everybody. All have great contributions, even my occasional long wacky ones. It is up to each of us as readers to learn what we can, and

Just so you all know ... This thread has gone on wayyyyy to long Don

Hey guys. To add to all this, I have 5 Kenwood repeaters in service, and I'll say this, they just work. I have 3 Kenwood version 1s, and 2 version 2s, and they take a beating every day, just look at

Tree limb touching a power line, or a failed insulator on the power line, is a likely culprit here. ?After listening to the YouTube videos, that sounds like a high voltage arc erupting somewhere

as a ... Not trying to pick a fight, but wouldn't you consider a repeater receiver being overloaded by some other transmitter's fundamental to be desense? I would... appropriate to Then there's the

And speaking of Skipp... Wherefore art thou, oh Skipp? I hope he isn't having to fight off this dread dis-ease. Maybe he's been whisked off to some undisclosed location with Dick Cheney. Come out,

A friend of mine just got a Vertex Standard EVX-R70 repeater. I've only had my hands on 2 or 3 of these things ever and I can't remember if you use regular MOTOTRBO CPS to program them or what. It

That is how I use the term "desense": desensitization of the repeater RX as a result of the repeater TX being activated. Some also refer to this as "self desense". The causes can be many: TX noise, RX

Okay....after reading 97 messages I feel like I'm in a tornado with one side yelling Kenwood is great and Motorola sucks and vice versa. I have gleaned some useful information about dense but I feel

I’m sorry, but Dino is right. You’ve written: “...I would bet the majority don't know the procedure for measuring desense...” “ If you put some engineering and common sense into things you

I also humbly recommend throughly cleaning and applying deoxit to the pins and sockets between the interconnect board and the uniboard, then work the pins in and out of the sockets over and over to

Byron- I pulled the mainboard today and took a closer look, found at least 4 caps obviously leaked out. Good call! Caps are on order to do the whole station. Thanks again for the help! TomW9SRV

Yes... The VHF has a couple different values but all in all bad caps effect both UHF and VHF in a bad way. I have recapped 5 different stations 3 UHF and 2 VHF. I will say the VHF seem to smoke more

I think that was the on in a older 73 mag I think. I found on for what I have that way. Have to remember where it is.The ID'er was diode in the article, and on the factory version it is a prom. Could

Wayne, This was my initial thought as well but aside from a device drawing significant power in a repetitive pattern as observed I am not sure how this could be the case. Another possibility, though I

I am fairly certain (85%) I have said documents.? I used to have one of those boards. They were advertised in one of the Ham rags back then, with some basic info and diagrams.? I bought one of their

It sounds just like a good old power line arc. I doubt it is more than a couple of miles away. It could be a tree limb touching the primary. Most likely it'd a defective bell or mushroom insulator. As

I'm assuming the purpose built box is built for a higher duty cycle... vs mobile rig never intended for a high duty cycle re-purposed into a repeater. Now, that being said... Once you open up some of
