0 wayoverthere Posted April 24, 2022 Report Share Posted April 24, 2022 if you're connecting an amp between the antenna port on the RT97 case and the antenna, the amp is in the receive path (which does neither the amp or your receive any favors. it COULD be sorted to bring the tx and rx out separately, amp the tx side, and either run separate antennas or add a duplexer suited for the higher power....but then do you end up with a repeater that talks further out than it can hear?
