Kevin, Please allow me to pick your brain. I was just informed of an intermod problem with 2 two meter repeaters. They are on towers about 2 miles apart. The frequencies are 147.33+ tone 107.2 147.165+ no tone. Two weeks ago I replaced the 147.33 equipment with a Mastr II station repeater

Shouldn't the 147.765 subscriber station be counted in the mix? While the distance and field strength may vary, the user sending to the 147.165 does make a contribution to the mix. sb On 2/3/07, Fred Flowers [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Kevin, Please allow me to pick your brain. I was just

I think I see how Steve's logic is leaning, and I agree - I don't see any logical mix here until you include a user's transmission on one of the repeater's inputs. Fred - do you hear ALL 147.33 transmitter activity coming in on the 147.765 input, or just when there is actually a user keyed up on

Steve, Jeff, Nate, Ya'll are on the right track. I did some additional tests. It not the 147.765 subscriber it's the 147.93 subscriber that is throwing the stinky stuff into the fan. Keying the 33 repeater does not cause the 165 repeater to come up. However, when both repeaters are on the air

Some one heard the owner of 165 talk about having to keep the power down because of desense. A perfect example of bandaidsmanship. What about a band pass on 147.765? Nah, it would only buy you a couple of dB of attenuation at 147.93. It may take a crystal filter or just padding the
