Again let me say thanks for all the help. In the 30 years of hamming, this is all new to me and I am learning something new every day I play with this. And yes, it is really fun, to be able to learn something new about our hobby.
I have all RG 213 coax as harness cable for the cans and to the radio for transmit and from radio through bandpass to the can on receive. I have been measuring the swr out of the radio. One of you said that I need to move the meter to the other side of the duplexer and check it there. I will do that again. I did check it there before, but have been leaving the meter in line between the radio and duplexer. Right now we have it running at 55 watts (out of radio) and everyone sounds great, except one and that may be his antenna as there is a little frying noise on him. One ham on the other side of county did say the reading went up from S2 to S5 so he was happy and a ham in another county about 27 miles away said we are 20 over at his place. This is a great improvement, because when it was ran around 10 to 20 watts the noise covered everyone up. Thanks gain, I really do appreciate the help. I hope everyone has a great week. 73 John --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, "Chuck Kelsey" <wb2...@...> wrote: > > Double shielded -- specifically what type? > > Chuck > WB2EDV > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "W3ML" <w...@...> > To: <Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Sunday, October 04, 2009 6:52 PM > Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Radio for repeater use > > > >> > > All coax is double shielded from radio to the hardline. > > > > >
