November Club Meeting

Posted on by

Band Pass Band Reject Duplexers

Location: LARC Clubhouse (4420 NW 41st St, Lincoln)
Date: November 12, 7:30 PM
Presentation by: Michael Ruhrdanz, NØFER

We have a treat for you in November! Michael Ruhrdanz, NØFER, has graciously agreed to give a presentation covering Band-Pass Band-Reject duplexers. This is a very needed piece of equipment when your repeater only has one antenna. However, Michael will show you the needs of building a repeater with and without a duplexer. I’ve heard several conversations and at least one of Paul’s, KF9TV’s, questions during the Lunch Bunch net on KØKKV/R regarding the “Q” and found this to be a great way to show you how to tune a set of duplexers. This will be a great one!

Jim Nelson, WØJRN, graciously agreed to give us a presentation based upon antennas and bonding. He will tell us what antennas may be the best and some that may not be. I’m told that he gave this presentation to the BARC club and it was AWESOME. Come with questions as Jim will likely have the answers you need. See you at the club meeting!

PL259, S0259, UHF,¼ (6.35mm) Phone, 1/8 (3.5mm) Phone, SMA, Reverse SMA, BNC, N, RCA, XLR, F, RJ45, and more. So many, what is a HAM to do?

There are far too many connectors to cover all of them, but I will talk about some that are common to amateur radio. I will also share some insights when making cables with some of them.
