Yeah, they are somewhat of a head breaker, but very effective when all of the cables are right. I am glad the video helped you understand what you have. 🙂
Very interesting Ralph. Didn't know these were used this low in frequency . Liked how you interposed pictures in video showing actual hardware. Thanks for the interesting links .
You are very welcome! Yeah, these Hybrid-Ring Duplexers are a real interesting character. It took me a little while to completely understand how they work. Quite ingenious, they are! 🙂
Ralph, I got a repeater system essentially dumped on me from a group that literally all but 'died' out. It is a Hamtronics repeater (2-units) and a set of Wacom duplexers. The two repeaters (1998 & 2004) both were defective and after considerable time and repairs, I got them back up and put the best one back in service. I then had to try and performance test them, and if all my calculations and equipment set-ups are correct, the repeater is sensitive to 0.1uV with the TX running. At this point, I'm inclined to leave them alone as even though they are old, it looks like the factory tuning can't be off that much, with that sensitivity. What are your thoughts if I may ask?
It wouldn't be a bad idea just to "take a look" and see how they are doing ... just for a sanity check 🙃(and to satisfy curiosity, which is always overactive for me😁). If you were near enough to me, I'd do it for free.
Thank you for the comment. Yeah... I added the music in post production. My bad. All of my current and future videos have no music for the very reason you state.
Thank you! for posting this. I just acquired a hybred ring duplexer and this helped in my understanding of it.

Very useful information. But why did you play music while your are talking? It distracts me from you’re otherwise excellent video.
