No worries, Eric. I'm not giving up yet! I just want to be able to offer the answer to the inevitable 'worst case scenario' question.
I definitely agree with you though. I'm a newbie to repeater stuff, but I've been juggling electrons for a long time and know that sometimes you've got to walk away for a while and get a new perspective. Having this mailing list is a huge advantage to guys like me who are just trying to 'get it done' to keep the membership happy! As always, I appreciate you (and everyone else's) advice. I've learned a lot just lurking on the list and even more when I took on the project of building this 'Frankenrepeater' project. I'm definitely just about out of ideas though. read all I can find here, on the website, and everyplace else I can think of and am running out of ideas. I guess I need to take the cans apart and inspect them again and also swap in the spare notch capacitors. but beyond that I'm getting to be at a loss! 73, Mike WM4B From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Eric Lemmon Sent: Monday, October 06, 2008 10:50 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Desense has me pulling my hair out! (Was DB4060 Duplexer Cables Mike, I urge you to avoid jumping to any conclusions, before you determine the cause of the problem. With all due respect, I think it is premature to condemn any component of your repeater until you have performed a very thorough and intelligent investigation. The worst thing you can do, in my opinion, is rush to a conclusion simply because non-technical people want an immediate answer.

(Was DB4060 Duplexer Cables I've got a club meeting Thursday and need to present something to the club. Assuming worse case that the cans I have are a total loss, what suggestions have ya'll got for a replacement, assuming a 30 watt transmitter (our old reliable Mark 4). Does anybody offer a discount to hams? Any reasonable chance of getting the cans I've got repaired? Mike WM4B
