Good news John, I trust that the receive antenna is higher than the transmit antenna? And it appears from what you said that the vertical separation is sufficient to take care of the de-sense issue-HOWEVER, that does not mean that your transmitter is clean, only that you have found a cure for your problem, if there are other radios at the same site you might be causing them interference also, fixing your own problem is only part of the fix-fixing the underlying issue is the most important thing-but at least you have a work around for now.
Good Luck Andy W6AMS From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of jmp46534 Sent: Monday, September 07, 2009 6:52 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: De-sense question We did discover that the receive works great when the transmitter is attached to another antenna. Receive strength went way up. But, of course that doesn't fix the problem of wanting to use only one antenna. So for now, the receive will be on the repeater antenna and the transmit on a separate 2 meter antenna. Thanks for all the advice. 73 John
