[App_rpt-users] First duplex repeater - question about duplexor/power amp

[ronald simpson]

Seriously???

Come on guys you can do better than this....

Turn the PA down to a power level the duplexer can handle.

Make up the losses with good quality Heliax and a good gain type antenna
like maybe 4 folded dipoles phased together.

Or buy the right duplexer...

In any case a repeater setup  is easy to get wrong and cause all kinds of
grief.

My advice is go to repeater-builders.com and read up on how to build a
repeater and what to expect.

Choose your components based on what you want to do with it.

If it is just going to be a toy, then build it cheap and don't expect much
when it does not perform.

If it is to be a viable system then get partners and spend what you need to
but... Look for deals

Deals are out there...
