[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Excess gear mystery

[Rich Adamy]

Thete are no duplexers.  IF you can find them, they are around 6K.

The 53.13 repeater uses a duplexer.  I found it online.  It was from a 6
meter repeater in the Raleigh area.   The club did not pay for it.

I paid $200 for the repeater and donated it to the club.
