I'm sure there are several of you that have interconnected two KG1000G Plus radio together to make it into a repeater. I'm curious what where your results after you did this? Did you experience any desense whereas, you were only able to communicate no more than 3/4 of mile away with a portable radio? At first, I was ready to blame the duplexer. I asked a Club member for some help and he brought his Maxon radios over and there was a significant performance improvement in the distance using the same duplexer and the same newly made cables.
So, based on our testing you would think that the problem was not with the duplexer but, with the radios. I even swap the transmit and receive functions between the two radios and the problem still existed.
Has anyone else experience similar results with the KG1000G Plus radios being used as a repeater?
I would like to hear from anyone that have had similar problems with their KG1000G Plus repeating radios.
