I have a Harris Alpha 2000 UHF (ex radio telephone) running full duplex service, which has been in service for 7 years now... Great radio.
We had some recent additions to the spectrum in Vancouver, so I had to remove my preamp. When I did, I noticed that the carrier hangtime of the repeater had a lot of noise on it. I was in the repeater shack talking to myself, when my buddy came on and keyed up and said "Your transmit audio is WAAAAAY to low". To myself (I was thinking) I said out loud "you must be on crack, I havent touched anything". Then, to my suprise, he replied.... Then I realized all I had to do was yell at the casing, and he heard me fine.... This is the only one of these repeaters I have in service that is this way, and I dont think it was before. My old frequency generator is also microphonic, but that is ancient. Is it something to do with synthesizers? What causes a repeater to become microphonic? Dave Cameron VE7LTD Yahoo!
