You will notice the MA UHF Isolators drift with heat a lot more than largers current dual port products. Instrument tuning is not the best option, except maybe to get it in the ball park. They are tuned just like dual port telewave types. Never trusting one specific method, I use both the t

Don't ever throw that catalog out... If it was worth your time, I'd pay you for some photocopies or page scans. thanks skipp > Micheal Salem <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ,wrote: > Skip: > > I did look it up when I got home in my ancient M/A-COM > catalog (From 1982, no less. It is hard to throw this

What power levels have you seen the drift issue at? I'm not going to run more than 30W into these units. On Thursday 05 May 2005 19:22, skipp025 wrote: > You will notice the MA UHF Isolators drift > with heat a lot more than largers current > dual port products. > > Instrument tuning is not the

Skipp: Actually, I have two different versions of the same catalog, one is in a red plastic custom binder, the other is a metal binder with cardboard covers. No need to pay for scans.  You have credit because you sent me some photocopies of various circuits that you had many years ago.

Where would one expect to find the low pass filters to use with this isolator? If they are hard to find or are expensive, does anyone have a LPF design the can share which is capable of 50W on 70cm which can be constucted in a die cast aluminum box? I have an ridiculously expensive and bulky K&L

Steve: The low pass filter is a D4066 and I have found them in flea markets and bought one at Dayton for not much money, but that was many years ago. I have never opened one up, but it is a harmonic low pass filter intended to make up for the distortion of rf going through the isolator. I th
