2 meters is a little different since most G.E./Motorola radios have a little better sensitivity, the noise floor of 2 meters is much higher. I once measured the 2 meter noise floor here to be ~3000 K, or -122 dBm in a 16 kHz bandwidth. That's wny I almost never recommend a preamp

Group, I have 3 UHF repeaters (TKR850) at one site, and one is getting some inteference. The system has a single, top mounted (60') DB420 feeding a RX multicoupler (Sinclair with a window filter). From there it goes to each repeater receiver. On the TX side, each repeater has it's own

That is poor engineering practice. On any site with multiple transmitters you must use a Circulator and Low pass filter to prevent mixing in the amplifier stages. What you have happening is that the possible IM products that fall within the passband of the amplifier stages are being amplified
