A piece of expensive communication equipment was left at my apartment/need to know what it is/see details.?

Question

A disgruntled neighbor said he did not want the piece of communication equipment anymore. But inorder to decide what to do with it, I need to know what it is. Here is the description to be best of my knowledge. First it is a Celwave product. It is black on the bottom with 4 round cylinders about 16 inches long at the bottom. On top of the 4 cylinders there seems to be 5 to 6 individual posts where you can connect communication lines. This equipment has no data information sheet on it telling you what it's product description is. It just has Celwave and a serial number and another product number. If anyone could help me with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm sorry I don't have a picture. But I'll try to go into a little more detail. The guy who left it used to do communications at NBC. It has a square metal place which is black. On top of the metal plate are 4 black cylinder about 16 to 18 inches high. Then there is a another black metal plate which seperates the cylinders from the top part. On top of the middle plate is what looks like connection posts. The posts have a "almost" gold looking color. It is the only part of this equipment which is not black.

Answer 1

A picture would be nice! It's really hard to tell without one.

Is it kind of like this? http://www.rigoulot.com/Celwave_Duplexers.JPG

If so, unless you are into making your own repeater, it's useless to you! You could try selling it on EBay or something.

Answer 2

It sounds like a receiver multi-coupler or a ferrite antenna combiner. Are there any knobs or shafts that look like they might be adjustable? If not, it's probably the ferrite combiner. If you know any hams, they might be able to confirm what you have.

Answer 3

You could go here and search for a picture of your find.

If you can give us the model number, that would help us in identification of it.
