My heliax duplexer has been in service now for over 2 years at GB3FH without fault or need to re-adjust. I check it every time I visit site and it never moves! Over 85dB rejection on one side and 90 odd dB on the other, works fine for me. You can see pictures of it at www.gb3fh.org.uk Regards,

You could also use lab software, assuming you can get it, to change the service mode frequencies. Take the frequency you want, subtract 801, divide by 0.00625, then convert the result to hex, that's what you enter to get your desired frequency. On 12/6/06, Rodney Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >

Re: Read: [Repeater-Builder] Stuck cores

David, For stuck cores, I usually find an allen wrench that fits and try it. If it is still stuck, put a very small "dab" of super glue on the allen wrench and insert it into the core, when it dries, unscrew the core and replace it with a new (correct) core. GL - John - K3KR David wrote:
