It is amazing how poor a 70cm\nantenna is for receiving 2m signals.\n\nAfter that, I would look to others that have Elks and use 2 radios for\nsuggestions.\n\n73, Don KB2YSI\n\nOn Sun, Jun 17, 2018, 16:50 Hugo Dominguez, Jr. <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n> Just tried trusty AO-91 and heard nothing through the duplexer.
