    Fluctuating SWR reading

    I’m having the issue where my SWR will not stay rock solid. If I get it just perfect, it does. Any other time it’ll start to climb excessively, then hold steady. Or it keeps increasing. The PA cuts power & I’m forced to power off. Equipment is a Motorola MTR 2000 with the hated Notch Reject...

    Using a VNA to tune a band-reject only duplexer

    I have a band-reject (notch filter) duplexer with low side at 462 MHz (transmitter) and high side at 467 MHz (receiver). I would like to learn on how to tune a duplexer, so I’ve watched many tutorials on the use of a VNA. What I am having a hard time understanding is why S21 is connected to the...

    Sinclair Mobile Duplexer Tuning

    I have a Sinclair Mobile Duplexer in a portable repeater. ( Sinclair Technologies Online Product Catalog - MR254B-2 ) I believe that this is a Band-Pass only duplexer so my question is if I wanted to reverse the TX and RX frequencies do I need to retune the duplexer? Or can I simply swap the...

    Best Mobile Duplexer

    I am looking for a mobile duplexer to be used in a low powered (5w-25w) portable repeater with about 8MHz frequency separation. Does anyone have any suggestions on mobile duplexers to stay away from or have any recommendations on what mobile duplexers seem to be superior or preferred as to others?

I'm a "young player" and I can fall into a lot of traps while trying to learn. Please forgive my mistakes if I say...

    CDR700 with CDM750's Repeater and duplexer

    I am attempting to program the CDR700. I got it setup to repeat on the same frequency but got a constant tone from the TX radio every time the RX radio received. I changed to a different TX frequency and no more tone. I still want it to re-transmit on the same freq. Somewhere in the middle of...

    Motrola GR1225 Repeater Help

    I am looking into purchasing a Motorola GR1225 16 Channel repeater. My question is if you can only program the internal duplexer for one frequency split, then what can you use the other 16 channels for?
