It's not due to desense. When I tune the cavities up properly, there's about
10dB noise figure on the preamp (reciever is 0.8uV sensitive). Then when it

Sam-

What frequency is this repeater on? A sensitivity of 0.8 uV doesn't sound
very good to me. On 146 MHz I'd expect that without any external preamp,
although it might be good at 1200 MHz???
