You can use a dual band antenna with a dipelxer and duplexers on each band but there are trade-offs. When we first put up W6DHS, we were using a dual band Comet 11dbi on 2 meters. We replaced the two meter side with a DB Products dipole array 6dbd. We measured a 15db signal increase over most

l just doesn't quite measure up to analog. But what you don't know is how well it will work without the desense. Ernie --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, Nate Duehr wrote: > > > On Apr 20, 2010, at 6:59 PM, ErnestK wrote: > > > You can use a dual band antenna wit

Does it receive better in low power than it does in full power? If so, the problem is desense. What is your antenna/duplexer situation? Ernie W6KAP --- In dstar_digital@yahoogroups.com, "Lot" wrote: > > Hi Everyone, >Our club bought a Dstar Repeater (IDRP4000v & IDRP2C). > For some reas
