Disassemble, save the screws and Type-N bulkhead connectors and toss the rest!

Thanks Eric et al.....
Thinking that these are probably worthless and debating whether or not its
worth my time. Then again, you miss 100% of the shots you dont take. :-)
I will let you all know my results. Soon!
Thanks again!

John,
Don't get your hopes too high, because most dual isolators can only be tuned
3% or so away from the frequency they were manufactured to operate at. For
example, my Celwave catalog shows those isolators for the 806-1000 MHz
range, but that range refers to the manufacturing capability and not the
tunable range. In fact, most manufacturers of circulators and isolators
will advise you that the unit must be remanufactured if the operating
frequency is moved more than a relatively small amount. A case in point:
One local radio club received a dual isolator that was originally made for
the 152 MHz commercial band, and wanted to use it on a 147 MHz Amateur
repeater. Although it SEEMED to tune down that far, it actually began to
generate some spurious signals and got quite warm. It was shipped back to
the manufacturer for reworking, at a cost of about $250, and performed
perfectly afterwards.
Since your isolators are made for 875 MHz, you might get them up to 902 MHz,
but probably not much further. YMMV...

Thats the one Bill! I have 3 units that look just like that, and 3 that have
the "CelWave R.F" on the label. Any HAMs good with Trap Shooting? :-)
One more question....if these may stretch to 902 - 928 HAM range, would
there be any way to confirm that, since I dont have the proper setup at the
moment to verify. Would that be verified with the monitor?
