hi all, found some good info on duplexers @ http://www.seits.org/duplexer/duplexer.htm
cheers
Thanks Adlind,
That was definitely a site to bookmark. I learnt many things there contrary to common practise and I think anyone who wants to understand repeaters and how they work should have a look at this site.
The reason we are putting up RKL, our one and only UHF repeater varies from person to person. As an older and wiser ham once put it to me.....
'The band plan and frequency spectrum in this part of the world (Malaysia) are like yearly budgets and allocations. If you dont use it, it can and will be taken away." 1.2 meg has already been taken away. Obviously the commercial sector is eyeing a lot of our frequencies. Look at the ITU plans and see how this is going to affect us as hams in general.
So..... once this repeater goes up.... USE IT! There should be a UHF repeater in every state. Just look at our fellow hams in Singapore and you can understand the commercial value of underused bandwidth to the regulators. After all, these frequencies are ALLOCATTED to you. If you do not use them..... it goes to another party demonstrating a need and the ability to pay for it.
Enough said on this. Support the crew going up.
