    Best 2 Meter Mag mount that can be tuned to MURS?

    I am looking for the best 2 meter mag mount that can be tuned to MURS, I would prefer a 5/8 wave. I know most of you will suggest a Larsen antenna, I am not impressed with those. I have been looking at the 2 meter 5/8 wave that Wilson offers but all the reviews say that the base cracks. Or if...

    Co-phase amplifiers?

    I wansn't expecting this kind of response, I thought the thread would be dead.... Good note on the correct terminology Kw, I thought the same as some others that the "Co" part just meant "2 or More". And who says this was in reference to a "C.B amp"? Those are just amps marketed for other...

    Co-phase amplifiers?

    Thought so, I was thinking it was like that... There would have to be some sort of impedance matching though for the inputs and outputs. But what about the output, would it be reasonable to think one could acheive the added nominal output of both or more amp's rated disapation? T23

    Co-phase amplifiers?

    This may be a weird question but can you co-phase the inputs of multiple amplifiers to combine there output? And co-phase the outputs to one output also? T23

    Is this a "Clean" amplifier?

    I wanted some opinions on this amplifier. What can I expect as far as it having a clean signal? I know it mostly depends on what is driving it... T23

    HY-GAIN SPT-500 or Tornado 27?

    Ok, well I guess Ill be staying with an omni then. Lets say I did go with the spt-500 or a maco 5/8 or the Tornado, could I expect 30-35 mile range from a 100 watt export on SSB if the tower was 20 - 30 - 40 ft. ? And if so, then what range in one direction could I get from a m103 or a Maco...

    HY-GAIN SPT-500 or Tornado 27?

    Looks like I need to do more homework. The results are even more inconclusive than before... So what if I went with a Maco 103 beam as compared to these? I know its directional gain. Benefits/not benefits? T23

I was planning on building a battery powerd mobile repeater from HTs and a battery powerd controller and wanted to know when does one need a duplexer?
