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... On Oct 4, 2015 4:49 PM, "Kirk Just Kirk" <wb6egr@gmail.com> wrote:
Sounds like it's really a "Notchplexer".....OK for home use but thats about it. Since you have very low power your going to lose most of it in the filtering. Run 2 antennas and a single can on the RX...

You can not do that.
Even if you could, how you would get a rx sig back through the amp ? While it was working ? It's the reason for the duplexer.
Think about it for a few.... FULL DUPLEX We all have those moments....

Is there any reason why the power amp cannot be placed between the duplexor and antenna? My repeater will be 2 modular 1 watt radio modules, a 20W capable 6 cavity duplexor and a Mirage power amp.If the amp is after the duplexor then cool, if not then a more expensive duplexor will be required...
