Laryn is absolutely correct. For any antenna to have gain and produce a clean pattern, the elements must be directly above one another. Why? As the wavefront hits the elements from the side, the disparity in horizontal distance will create an out of phase condition. Obviously, the degree of

The example that he's giving is not the same as combining transmitters. Combining transmitters on a single antenna is an entirely different story, you as well as most of the rest of the group knows that. I hope he does. 73 AC0Y --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Ken Arck <[EMAIL PROTECTE

The whole intent of the "sweep modulator" is to trigger the scope on both sides of the deviation, so you can get them as close as possible to the center of the band pass it requires you to feed a 20 HZ sine wave into a box that would give you the same 20HZ out and a 40HZ train of pulses to trig

Hi Steve, I would separate the duplexer at the antenna connection by removing the "T" and run both "sides" of the duplexer in each antenna system respectively. I doubt there would be enough transmitter isolation without the use of the duplexer, especially transmitter sideband noise isolation a

You would gain much more isolation by separating them vertically. Side by side would also mess up the pattern. Not familiar with that duplexer,but if it has a Tee at the antenna port,simply remove it and connect the two antennas where the Tee was. This >may< throw the tuning off some but is wor
