I agree. There's a nice article on r-b about what you should think about and do when building a repeater. That's great if you already have an inkling about what to do. But people don't always have the same vision after reading something, so pictures definitely are worth thousands of words. Ther

Just watch the power dissipation. You wouldn't want to risk melting the coax. There's next to no cooling - conduction, convection or radiant from a sealed paint can. My rule of thumb - figure what the attenuator is going to dissipate - let's say that you are going to take a 20 watt transmitter
