Did not check that. What should it be? I assume 10% or less reflected.

Nope, but that's next on my list.

I plan on checking out some more. I am going to put a barrel connector on
the end of the PA coax and measure just before it goes into the duplexer
then measure the output of the duplexer. If that still seems funky I will
try a different length cable.
But... what if the duplexer does have the -2.8 loss, then I guess retuning
is in order?
I read on the repeater builder site that some people tune with the TX power
at the site. That seems a bit risky to me and it would drastically change
the notches.

Will do! Thanks Paul.
