> Andy and the Group:
> The 146.10 / .70 Repeater is done! The unit as found was seriously out of
> alignment and producing lower than desired power output. The receiver
> front end was the key problem, once it was redone the unit improved
> considerably. The Duplexers were only slightly off, they were adjusted and
> the assembly fully tested as an assembly. The unit is ready for pickup and
> reinstall.
>
> 1) Receiver Sensitivity as found: -80 dB / As left: -118 dB
> 2) Transmitter Output power as found: 15 Watts / No Change
> 3) Full assembly Sensitivity: -114 dB
