A local group here in Florida just replaced their feed line to their antenna with LMR 400 coax this past weekend. I cringed after I heard that they had done this. But, am I now hearing that the use of LMR 400 is no longer taboo? - thanks.. - Mike

Can you refresh the group on some of the primary issues? Thanks, dave p.s. we've been using it for five years at ten sites with no problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Kelsey <mailto:wb2...@roadrunner.com> To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, January 03, 2010 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Mastr II mods and parts Kevin mentioned feedline, but didn't mention to stay away from "LMR or 9913 type" foil/shield combinations in duplex service.

I appreciate it! I've put a couple of questions inline below. Well - you'll need a duplexer no mater the price... <grin> I was under the impression that if I had two antennas, I could get by without a duplexer. Thanks for the heads up. While two antennas will work, and you'd initially think there is a cost savings using two antennas, that isn't always the case. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4740 (20100103) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com
