that it sees from the duplexer without the meter in the circuit. This is the jumper that you add along with the meter between the regular cable from the duplexer and the transmitter. The bird manual tells you how to calculate the jumper cable length to use. 73 Gary K4FMX > -Original Mess

ng, it is all a matter of how much attenuation the filter devices are providing. As a note that may come in handy for someone chasing interference, you can use a pass band cavity as a notch cavity by just putting a T connector on one side and inserting it in line. Leave the other connection to the other loop blank. 73 Gary K4FMX

amount of site noise present. Then key the transmitter and again measure receiver sensitivity thru the isolated T. If you haven't done this you may find that a lot of the problem is site noise rather than desense problems. 73 Gary K4FMX _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroup

If you have an extra band pass cavity then you also have a notch cavity. Just connect a T to one port of the band pass cavity and ignore the other port on the cavity. This will work as a notch cavity for your testing. 73 Gary K4FMX _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com

ilter may have had better rejection at the interfering frequencies than the cavities did. But if that filter does the job for you that's good. I am only trying to point out when and where a window filter is appropriate. 73 Gary K4FMX _ From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.co

so you can use minimum loss. Also sometimes receive channels can be on those same antennas with 1 or 2 receiver multicouplers and appropriate filters. It all depends on what frequencies are involved. In regard to the two repeaters on one antenna, Jeff summed it up very well. 73 Gary K4FMX > ---
