Robert:

I have used a duplexer on the UHF side of my satellite ops for several years. I find that some radios have more of a desense problem than others. Here is a link to my website where I briefly talk about what I do on portable ops and using what is referred to as a Mode J filter - http://www.ka4kyi.com/satellite_gear/misc_equipment/

hola,   i am trying to determine the best way to work full duplex on the birds 
with 2 HT's or radios.   i cannot find any info so far on the web. my concern 
is to keep the transmit power out of the receive radio, i guess basically the 
difference between a diplexer and duplexer. since i am efficient (lazy) i 
thought i would just look for suggestions here while i am checking google also. 
   what do i need, di/du/ plexer, and what is the correct wiring scheme ?  i 
will be using the arrow antenna without the built in duplexer, from the 2 feeds 
(vhf/uhf)  and 2 HT's for now.  my picture of it so far, is to wire the vhf 
radio direct to the vhf feed port on the arrow, and have the uhf port on the 
arrow come into a duplexer, with the duplexer uhf port going to the uhf radio, 
and the duplexer vhf port terminated into a 50 ohm dummy load.   also, any 
suggestions of specific duplexers would be appreciated. i think i started on 
this project a few years ago, but never got around to get!
ti!
  ng it all together. grazie mille,   Robert   k f 0 g    cn81   in the
