I have an Icom fr-ic4000 repeater. I recently got a great deal on a Celwave 6 cavity pass/notch 100+dB rejection, professionally tuned. It really helps my sensitivity and selectivity on my front end.
I have a Henry amplifier continuous, 10 in 70watts out. Which will give me about a 50watts output.
Problem is lowest setting on repeater is 25 watts. I do not have, the ability, or want to drop the low setting down to 10 watts and have it realigned.
Would a 25watt 4db fixed attenuator, between the tx and amplifier be a fix. To avoid mailing the amp back to henry for an expensive retune, that I might want changed again someday.
I have a 50 ft run of 1/2" Heliax Cable to a CommScope DB404. RG400 on the repeater side. Plus, isolator on tx.
