Repeater with Telewave Duplexer question


Question

Posted

Hi to everyone.

I have a rather unusual question.

I have a repeater on a commercial tower. It is currently running on a 9Db Station Master at 143 feet. There is an recently abandoned DB420 that I have access to. It is located at 150 feet. I have tested the repeater on the DB420 and the RX is nearly twice as good but the TX is far weaker. My SWR is about 1.6   I suspect he DB420 is a little off on frequency and may be the cause for the poor TX performance.

Here is my question

I have a 4 can Telewave TPRD 4554 duplexer. Can I simply plug the DB420 on the 2 RX side cans and the Station Master on the 2 TX cans? This would meant I remove the combining jumper in between the cans where it goes into 1 antenna. 

Meaning I would have a seperate TX and RX antenna but keep the duplexer to avoid desense? 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Woah, hold your horses there pardner, you posted the same exact question three times within ten minutes. I'm sure it's a technical glitch, but whatever it is you're doing, less of that would be great. ;)

Can't answer the question, but I'm sure someone will answer one of the three instances of it.
