So I know how to tune one but, for those with repeaters what kind of attenuation are you getting?
I put my repeater on the air, and the next day we had a pretty nasty storm. Repeater seemed to recieve but not transmit. Replaced the tx Saturday and thought all was good, but still no tx. Checked duplexer and I'm barely getting 1 watt out.
I have another repeater on standby, so I got it's duplexer out, and retuned it. I got it to -65, but a 5watt signal from around 7 miles away is all I can get without the tx blinding the rx. It's a fumei duplexer, same as the original. I just can't get good attenuation. I think I'm gonna need 80 or more.

Anyone have any numbers to work with?
