Bob, That is good news. I thought your 8 can set would tune up much better than the 6 can set I did. I had to mount the one I did on it's side also. I just got a piece of angle aluminum from the scrap pile and made a rack mount for the duplexer, so that it laid in the rack horizontally. I have seen them mounted in racks vertically, but they take up a lot more real estate in the rack when mounted that way.
Good luck and nothing wrong with a back yard repeater. Joe - WA7JAW --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Bob" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Joe: > > Thanks for the info.
