2 Radios, 2 Antennas, 1 Coax. That pretty much says it all. I currently have a KX3 and a 2-meter rig (but I’ll probably be outfitting the KX3 with 2m’s in the future) and I use a HamSticks for HF or a 1/4 wave GP for 2 meters. Running another coax here is not a option (apartment) so I have been swapping radios/antennas. Now I’m thinking of using two HF/VHF Duplexers (or Diplexer as they are also called) to join/split the RF. For example using two of the MFJ-4916S, one port is 1.6-56mHz and the other is 140-540mHz. Hf power output is limited to the KX3 (12w?) and VHF is currently the IC-2300H at 65w. I understand that there will be insertion loss/isolation issues. I have never pursued using splitters on a coax feed before and tho two simple A/B switches (manual or remote) would work better, I’d just like to keep things simple.
From what I have been reading, the Diplexer route looks like it should work fine given the above? tnx de George WD0AKZ dit – dit --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
