Aaron, Howdy again neighbor! Don't start spreading rumors that its flat in Texas, it's all downhill to the beach.....on second thought it IS flat and the water is bad,,,,
Are these the cavities I tuned for you last fall? If so guys,,,, these are typical specs for 4 cans BPBR. Sorry but I couldn't find screen shots of when I tuned them, they were just under 80DB as I recall, and had been fiddled with before I corrected them. We had a brief discussion that day Aaron, and you are going to hear support of my suggestions. Location Location Location. Whether its Dstar or not, you can only squeeze so much range out of a site. You are adding items on the RX and TX and have exceeded the separation specs of your duplexers. You may be in the same boat many people are, all the equipment and no place to go. You need to acquire a better site. Are you running the UHF package still? And these are at the same site right? Tell us the details of the antenna systems-height, feed line (type and length) and antennas? I'm curious of the range differences between the UHF and VHF after considering the differences in antenna systems. 73 Don Kirchner W5DK
