Transmitter Related, How to Prevent RF Final Death
Posted: Sat Nov 09, 2013 2:54 am
Marko,
Thanks for your recent help, and questions to the possible reason why my RF Final died.
I have been thinking about this, and I thought about using 1 or 2 filters in line with the transmitting signal.
I had these from a repeater being pulled down and I put them aside to be modified for a duplexer for one of my 2mtr repeaters. Have not had to use them so are still tuned for around 107Mhz, which is where our Radio is set for on 107.2Mhz.
So if I was to use them for band-pass filters, would this then help prevent the possibility of damage again. I do know a direct or very close hit won't stop it, but it might help? Even for heavy rain static?
Would be interested in your views, can't keep buying new boards too often.
