Post subject:  N7MHE "35" Machine back on

Spent most of the day yesterday putting Craig's 145.350 machine back on the air atop Saddle Mountain.

Presently, it's set at 20 watts out past the duplexer. I have a 100 watt amplifier for it but we found the duplexer to be shot so the less RF the better until we can get a better duplexer in there. Currently there is mobile coverage only from Moses Lake, west to George. Down in Vantage hole it's not so good. Receiver opens at -122 dBm. Add 8 dB of site noise (wireless internet crap at the site littered all over the tower) and 20 dB of desense from the crappy duplexer and you've got a nice TKR-750 repeater with horrible sensitivity. :(

145.350- (100.0)

Anybody know of a 2m duplexer for sale? Repeater pair is the typical 600 KHz split and power running through it will someday be about 75-80 watts.
