I consider it mandatory for EVERY transmitter at a Field Day site use the appropriate bandpass filter at all times. Mr Sherwood will tell you that almost every transmitter or transceiver has broadband

I am reasonably sure that DX Engineering also carries it or at least a substitute. You can also get it from Mosley antennas as they specify it for their antennas. 73 de Mac, K2GKK/5​ Since 30 Nov 1953

Test Results IC-7000 2 Meter Rpt Problem Transmit
Heh, heh! Yep, but an IC-7000 is an awfully expensive FM broadcast receiver! 😉 I never use the 7000 for 2m/70cm. That's what my 2710, 2720, and 2730 are for! It's going to be interesting to learn what

Wide is normal almost everywhere. This is what is referred to as 5 kHz deviation with 15 kHz channel spacing. The NBFM mode is half or less than that. 15 kHz channel spacing is used in many locations,

I certainly concur with the possibility of too high overall deviation as outlined below by Paul Hansen! Excessive peak deviation can totally eliminate the "carrier" and cause squelch dropout. The same

IC-7000 2 Meter Rpt Problem Transmit but doesn't open the repeater ?
Another owner has commented about this. His finding was that the transmit audio needs to be opened up at the low end to allow the so-called "sub-audible" tones to pass. I seem to remember that the low

All you need is a composite video monitor (or older NTSC television) and appropriate cables. The cable is a mini phone jack (tip and ring) on one end and the RCA phono plug on the other end. 73 de Mac
