I have been trying to sweep some antique gear (G.I. SX trunk amps) in Alaska and am finding that after setting out the return on the trunk the feeder will be up to 13 db lower. This is checked on a tap at the amp location making sure all the test point comps have been factored in. The first le is suffering. This is at all amp locations. Trunk is fine. Feeder sucks. Any thoughts? There is a jumper where the bridger jumper board is suppose to be. Does it have to be the board? There is no gate switch. Diplexers are all new. I know that internally there is another 7.5 directional coupler from the bridger input that the trunk does not have but there doesnt seem to be any way to compensate for this. Help?
