A few days ago Bernie mentioned the circuit for a cavity to allow the control receiver on the Brandon repeater to be used on the main UHF antenna. I built up a circuit up some months ago and it is ready to install. The circuit was constructed from some old Western Electric cavities that were originally used around 510 MHz. Heaven only knows when and how I obtained them. Some internal modifications were made to get them into the ham bands. To give you a little history, the original control antenna was mounted at about 8 ft. above ground and was very ineffective. In addition to that, we had the feed line on the main repeaters damaged and had to use the feed line for the control receiver to get it back on the air. So instead of using the low antenna again with poor performance, I decided to try to construct a filter that will allow the UHF repeater and the control receiver to operate on the same antenna while maintaining the effectiveness of the main UHF repeater (and preventing the UHF transmitter from frying the control receiver input circuit). I plan on bringing the circuit with my spectrum analyzer for testing the unit to the AREU meeting next Tuesday. When I explain the operation and make some measurements, it will make me more comfortable of the design. It always does. Maybe it will help others in the group understand cavity filters and their value in communications circuits.
