Logan5 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 for some time I have wanted to utilize the VHF portion of my GMRS repeater antenna. I know you need notches and filters to do this. Will this sinclair power divider help me accomplish this task? I understand I would have to tune it to my frequency's. If not what does this product do? Thanks in advance Jim...

zap Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 A simple diplexer will do what you want. http://www.theantennafarm.com/catalog/ncg-comet-cf-4160n-7620.html I'd recommend the models with N connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan5 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Thanks Zap, yes I only use "N" connectors. I will check out the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan5 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 ah, not sure this would work, but I could be incorrect. I have much money invested in my equipment and I can see a product like this damaging something very expensive. I was told before that I would need notch and filter cans, and it sounds like the ability to tune the cans would also be very helpful. The sinclar sounds like notch and filters combined in a nice rack mountable module. I am e-mailing the seller now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zap Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 They are very common in the amateur world, just not as common in commercial. Here's a little more reading on the subject. I probably should've lead with this but it didn't come to my mind until second post. http://www.repeater-builder.com/antenna/ant-sys-duplexers.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
