Since I use a very good 2 Meter bandpass filter on my 2 Meter output, I
use the diplexer AT the antenna, ahead of the preamp.

I know this has been answered before, but I forget. Given one
Diplexer, is it better to put it on the Tx side to limit the 3rd
harmionic going out, or better on the Rx side to limit the VHF
fundamental coming in? Tony's diagram shows the later; I would have
thought the former would be more effective (hitting the problem at its
source).

Yep, been using one of those for years!
I have a Sinclair Labs unit that provides 100dB rejection outside of
the 2 Meter band.

I would also suggest a low pass filter on the two meter transmitter.
A diplexer will work well for this also.
This will reduce the third harmonic which is causing your problem.
Good luck,

Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: 145 MHz signal blocking 435 MHz downlink
Buy a diplexer, and connect it as shown in the linked article:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/articles/Mode-J/
I also tilt both of my Yagis so they're 45* to the boom, which makes
them 90* to each other.
Yes, I lose some signal on terrestrial use, but ti helped cut the
coupling, and desense, down quite a bit.

Hi all,
I have a coupling problem in my station when trying to work FO-29.
My 2m
signal is completely blocking the 435 MHz downlink, and so I can't
hear my
signal off the satellite. I guess it must be something related to the
distance between the two yagis. (I use the terrestrial horizontal
yagis you
can see at http://www.dxmaps.com/jm19hn.html ). With mode-B
satellites there
is no problem. I have tried it with two different 435 receivers,
and it's
exactly the same.
Anyone has had this problem o have an idea of the possible reason?
And what
is more important, of some way to solve it?
Thanks for any possible help.
