The condition is often referred to as tin whiskers. There's a lot of info
about that on the web. NASA has done a lot of research about it. It's the
growth of tiny filaments mainly on tin-plated RF assemblies.
In the MSF5000, this condition can be found inside the two VCOs, inside the
mixer

Yes, I will agree their are those that cause havoc with a tower site owner, or
other lessors, but the number is minor compared to those Amateur Radio installs
that are done
Ryan,
It is not always just a privilege for an Amateur Radio Repeater to be on a
tower. In many instances, the Amateur Radio operator and/or club pay just as
much as whatever commercial outfits are on that tower. In other instance, the
Amateur Radio repeater and/or club takes care of the

Having been involved with many repeater installs, it's very simple. You
either do it the right way or not at all.
It's so important to use propper filtering, and make sure your repeater
meets code. I've heard hams whine and complain so many times, and i tell
them all the same thing, do what they

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

May I suggest that you do a write-up with photos that could be posted on the
RB site? Maybe the right way and the wrong way would be helpful for guys
making installs. And explain why it's done this way, not that way.

I concur - I would *love* to see a write up with photos (preferrably with
arrows and captions pointing out actual issues rather than playing Where's
Waldo?) up on the RB site.

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.
Fairly low pay and all the pride you can swallow...
