Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telewave BrBp Problems
Could be a couple of things going here but your description of your tuning procedure has me concerned. Even at 10 watts power, it is quite possible to damage cavities due to the voltages produced. We are a Telewave Dealer and can help you with getting things going. Feel free to give us a call.

I have used some new and old equipment for the job. Where my problem starts is with the duplexes. When field tuned I have no receive signal when the transmitter kicks in. We tested the cans, upon doing so I notice a problem on the receive side. Tuning them I would put 10watts in and get 10watts out on the receive frequency. Then I switch the radio over to the transmit frequency and I have 10 out of 10 going through when tuned for the receive frequency. I am at a total lost as to what I need to do to solve this problem. It seems that the cans are not cutting out the frequency as they are designed. More info on the cans: Telewave 2 Meter, 4 Cavity, TPRD 1554.

I'd suggest that you go to the Repeater-Builders website and do some reading. Hopefully you haven't destroyed the front end of your receiver.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Telewave BrBp Problems
Sounds to me like the cans are tuned backwards, meaning, you are trying to pass low/notch high on the pass high/notch low sides.
