Working on a problem. I have a repeater, combined with 2 others, to a single antenna. Total system losses for the repeater i'm interested in is 4.7dB.
Would it be worth adding a pass can(1.5-3dB of additional loss) between the Duplexer and receiver, with a 9dB gain preamp to make up for the system losses? The total system losses with the additional pass can would be between 6.2 and 7.7dB. I only want to make up for the Duplexer and multicoupler/combiner losses. I do not want to make it hear farther than it can talk.
The repeater of interest is up at tx171/rx172 actual separation is 0.735MHz. The other two repeaters are 169/169(0.435MHz)and 157/162(5.340MHz)
