There are multiple inputs and outputs that can be programed for that purposes even there are for encode on/off ,decode on/off , you only have to look in the software.. - Mensaje original - De: Gregg Lengling Para: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

I think we're on two different wavelengths here. What I am talking about is practical application, not theoretical mumbo-jumbo. OK, yes, I'm talking about the theoretical limitations. Your earlier post said that even theoretical PM falls apart at low frequencies, and that's where I

This is a little off topic but may benefit others. I have a week Verizon signal in my house. Not much better outside either. Can go around the block and get better signal. Just two miles from the nearest tower. Would like to put an antenna on my tower and connect it to one in the house house

There are not any baluns on these antennas. If I remember right, they use 75 ohm coax on each bay (odd multiples of quarter wave length) and 35 ohm coax on the feed (again odd multiples) to match the impedance to 50 ohms. This info was on the group a while back, somebody must still have it.

I think you will find that the feed point is 50-Ohms whenfeeding one of these single unbalanceddipole elements.The harness is for makingthe multiple elements on the array look like one elementto thetransmission line. Look at their (DB's) folded unipole antenna for low band. It's

Yep folks, theseare commonly referred to as "Phasing Harnesses" just like we use in the contest circles to stack multiple antennas and phase them so the feed point impedance still "sees" 50 ohms at the design frequency. Ron Rogers-WB8ERB- -Original Message-From: Steve Grantham
