[Repeater-Builder] Can I lose a cavity using an amp and an attenuator?

[Ian Ashford]

At the moment I am testing a  2m 4 can duplexer with a 25 watt transmitter and all is fine.   I wish to remove one of the cans in the duplexer and use it for another purpose (part of another duplexer actually)   If I lose a can from the tx arm can I "clean up" the transmitter with (say) a 120w solidstate amp followed by a high power 6dB pad?   has anybody in the group tried this?   Ian G8PWE     Your use of Yahoo!
