What price shud one expect to pay for a new db224E? Is $485.00 plus
shipping a fair price?

Hi all.
One of my friends is getting a 2 meter repeater ready to put on the air. He
asked for my advice regarding a duplexer for sale on e-bay. It is a
Sinclair Q2330E. I looked at the pictures and it is in immaculate
condition. The picture shows this duplexer to be on 168.750 and 169.875
Kevin,
I'm no antenna expert but there is a antenna in the new AES catalog
on page 109. Built by ANTENEX. I've seen the uhf version. Looks
pretty stout. Not familiar with the performance. The other guys will
let you know about that I'm sure. $120.00 price tag- 3 element 136-
150mhz.

Time to ask the guys who know...
My old faithful Icom IC-4AT is experiencing intermittent TX. Sometimes the
TX just cuts out, sometimes there's lots of crackling on the transmitted
signal. This is an old HT - the one with thumbwheel frequency select. Looks
like Icom wants $75/hr. repair rate.
yes you can do muli users on them.

But would an intermittent antenna connector cause the TX light to go out as

The best answer to your question is probably: Whatever works! Both Bill
Lieske of EMR and Len Pringle of Telewave have given me pretty much the
same answer about jumper lengths for duplexers they manufacture.
In most duplexers, the cavities are individually tuned for the desired
Kenwood isn't any better. I have a TH-G71 that's only a couple of
years old but the keypad has become very flaky. The top row of
buttons now take a *lot* of force to be recognized and then they
bounce. I called Kenwood and asked how much to replace the keypad
and all then wanted to quote
I would estimate it's a PLL problem.

Some well known manufacturers did use RG-213 and RG-8
for duplexer interconnecting cables. Some people
upgraded the cables to double shielded coax, but you
have to take velocity factor into consideration when
making the new cables.
