honestly i don't think you could ask for any better then that, but the desense sounds like i have no duplexer's and I'm starting to point at the poor construction of this over sized empty box and shielding mobile radios give you
Hmm, well there are many ‘poor construction over sized empty box’ units running just fine out there. I didn’t replace the cables on mine, just brought it up and began testing. We used a handheld with a fixed antenna with switchable attenuators. We continued to drop the signal coming out of the handheld until we started get packet errors. Then we added a 20dB preamp that allowed us to drop the input signal another 9dB until we started getting packet errors. We then switched to low power and were not able to really find a difference. Next test was to put a dummy load on the transmitter which didn’t make any noticeable difference, so we assumed very little if any desense. 73
