Guys .I have a similar problem with 2 repeaters but its in the receiver side .The maxon sm4450uhf receiver is tuned to the best it can be on the service monitor -115db and the bpbr duplexer is tuned to correct specs as far as I can see on the hp8921a .I have also tested the repeater in duplex mode into the service monitor and all good -115db no static, power out good Replaced the antenna and interconnecting cable is heliax and its all good I will be testing the antenna system with a new MFJ-269 antenna tester to make sure its ok .Transmission is a1 full distance but when a transmission is sent the repeater its good up close fast to come on but is slow to come on with distant stations. We are using a ctcss tone which I will be checking to see if it is correct .Saying that I should try it without the ctcss and see if it is better without the ctcss detection.

Top 40 stations sometimes still do this trick (pitching up their CD players or automation system playback speed maybe 1%) - some PD's are convinced that it improves ratings for one reason or another... --- Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Joe > Sent: Monday, September 06, 2010 6:38 PM > To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com > Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: no power out of duplexer > SOLVED with more questions > > > > I agree.
