IFR 1600S Added to the Bench

A new tool has been added to the KK4ICE workbench — an IFR 1600S service monitor. The spectrum analyzer and tracking generator functions included in this piece of gear will make the tuning of duplexer cavities, filters, and antennas even easier than before. Add in all the other great features and this machine will serve as an excellent replacement and upgrade to the Motorola service monitor which is currently out for some repairs. The 224.980 repeater duplexers will be checked and tuned again using this unit over the coming weekend, and there is already an on-site duplexer retuning lined up for a fellow ham’s 2 Meter repeater.
