I have opened both repeaters. The VHF already had the blue hardline in it, the
UHF however I replaced with superflex.
I may try something different. Hardline up the tower and for a patch cord
(about 10 feet) up the mast I'll use superflex. I'll have to play around and
see what I have still.
I was originally leaning in that direction, purchasing 2 more cans and a new
phasing harness. I was told to stop what I was doing and rethink by other hams.
I think you are right. I will order the new cans and make another trip to San
Antonio to see Don.
Don, if your reading.. I'm a headin up
I am going to ask a question that might sound stupid but, based upon Icom's

Did you ever open the repeater case on the 2m repeater and replace the rg-58
patch cables that are zip tied to each other to connect the rf modules to the
rear of the case before adding your p

I think we've found the cause of your desense: The TPRD-1454 duplexer,
which has four 5" cans, is rated at 77 dB isolation, and is marginal with 20
watts TX and RX sensitivity of 0.4 uV- which calls for at least 82 dB
isolation. At 100 watts, 95 dB is recommended. While these recommended
Put your fire suit on Aaron, you actually typed LMR. Do a search here and
you will find it is known to be a problem in duplex service.
With greater losses on UHF the ranges your observations are expected.

Hey Don, yeah good to hear ya!
Well, the system is at my house. If I could find a tower (Trust me I have
looked around) then that would make the world of difference.
Its up on my tower about 60 feet (Both UHF and VHF). The VHF has pretty good
coverage. The UHF not so much, probably half of t

Yeah that is a good question. All we do is test from a portable a few miles
from the repeater. Low power settings on TX for the portable.
Test with the amp inline and the amp out of the equation. I find very quickly
there is something wrong.
That's all I can do, I can't vary the output power
Receiver gain does not work the same as transmitter power increase. A 10 db
increase in transmitter power is not the equivalent of adding a 10 db preamp
on the receiver. It would be if your receiver was very noisy
(internally)(very poor receiver) to start with and the 10 db preamp overcame
the rece
This leads me to a question that I have had on my mind. How are people
doing desense testing with D-Star systems? (Remember, it's digital.)

Very common for UHF. Not seen as often on VHF. Google some of the antenna
manufacturers or Tessco and look around.

at 50watts or so. Tuning gets very tricky with the TPRD-1554 cans at that much

Aaron,
My CommShop for Windows program suggests that about 88 dB of isolation is
needed for a 20 watt repeater, assuming 0.2 uV sensitivity on the receiver-
which you didn't specify. Bumping the power to 100 watts will increase that
figure to about 95 dB. My gut feeling is that your duplexer is

Do you have any idea WHY the models with two dipoles side-by-side
