Ok Ron, So if the basically transceiver chassis* inside could be remounted to the back plate opened for a direct chassis* ext coax pl termination, then the internal original line loss problem is eliminated.
Losses would be reduced further due to only the one connection required, but still with the ability to fit metering devices later for tests/maintenance etc. Where are you; Icom designers hihi. vk4tux ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Wright Adrian, Would reduce the losses some, but for maintance issues do like some connectors. Also getting inside some of these rigs is a chore, hi. I think repackaging the ICOM repeater would be good idea. That big box with the small rigs is such a waste. .
