Free climbing! Ken, stop doing it!
I'm just as guilty as charged.

[@BBaldwin]

Is he climbing without a fall arrest? I see it once he gets up there, but not on the way up, unless I missed something…

[@JB007Rules2]

Curious why you wouldn't use a normal commercial grade antenna like a DB408 or DB420 for UHF or DB224 for VHF?? Comet antennas are fine for base stations but junk for repeater sites...

[@rickhole]

N8RL: As soon as new antenna, new feedline, through the duplexor was NO GO, I would connect a receiver to the feedline, bypassing the duplexor. You might as well confirm a duplexor problem with a 5 minute test.

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

Great suggestion! Stay tuned for Part 3 and see what we did next and ultimately found the problem

[@wd9dau]

What was the old feed line? I ask because LMR400 will give this problem due to noise from this feed line.

[@rohnkd4hct260]

My problem is NO LOCAL clubs! Well, there are a couple, but they do nothing

[@cornbread-KO5RN]

Yea they must be like the one I encountered,once a month meeting at a library
