Sounds more and more like the duplexer is not tuned as well as you were led to believe. Use two 2m ham rigs, one as a rx and one as a tx, into the duplexer, and let us know the results. I've also seen cans that looked good on a tracking generator but then worked horribly once on the antenna at

More MSR-2000 PA war stories One other cute little MSR PA Section tidbit I didn't think to mention. Depending on which PA version and Model you have there... If the PA was ever operated into a reflective load without proper circulator - isolator type protection... then you can "assume" the

I have a bunch of MSR2000s here. I know the Canadian version was offered as a 132-150 version, but the USA versions I have here are rated 146-174MHz. I know the Micors are band-split for VHF, but from what I read in the MSR manuals, I think there is only one 146-174 slpit MSR, no? I have a n
