One of my first (Hamtronics) 6 meter repeaters worked fine... same site no duplexer. I had 65 ft antenna separation, a ground plane (converted CB 5/8 wave) for rx at the top and a low gain 1/2 dipole (converted scanner antenna) at the bottom.
The elevated site worked an easy 30 mile radius with a whopping 2.3 watts output. Talk about a smoker... Who says you need a duplexer..? Just drop the power down... cheers, skipp ps: the repeater still works... > "Kevin King" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I can help you with the construction of 6 meter duplexers.
