No need to get rid of the duplexer; just add a pass cavity to your TX. A 11" dia. 1/4 wave pass cavity with 0.5 dB loops will have around 17 dB of rejection @ 600 kHz from resonance. That should knock the TX noise down enough to eliminate your desense. 70 dB of TX freq. suppression on the RX leg of the duplexer should be just enough for any decent RX. Bob NO6B Yahoo!
