I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I was up to the NEAR Fest yesterday and always wondered about theft. Lots of stuff is left unattended and in the 30 years I've been to Deerfield I have heard of very little theft. Just wondering, was it stolen off a table or in the parking lot? 73, Joe,

MessageIf you can hear another service in there at the time, you likely have an intermod issue. Do yourself a favor and get rid of the foil/braid jumpers. They could be where the mix is happening. If not, you've ruled that out. Somewhere there is a mix and you have to play detective until it is

Running the hamtronics REP-200 with the optional 15 watt PA in it. After all the filtering, I get a whopping 8 watts out. I put a small strip amp inline with the TX port of the repeater, before the filtering, and it caused desense. Maybe tossing spurs - I have no way to test. Location is also
