Hello, I am using the old Microwave Associates cross band couplers on my commercial tower for high band and UHF, works well and so far in 5 years it's never given any problems. I have redundant 1 5/8 Heliax receive lines with crossband couplers and one 1 5/8 Heliax line with the same crossband couplers for the transmit side 100 feet down the tower.
If you put something up a tall tower it has to be built really well in case of lightning. Had some of that tonight matter of fact! First rain in over a month. Also since 1998 when I erected the tower I have never had a lightning related failure to the antenna system receive system, had one that came through the AC line. Blew the Transtector lightning arrestor in one paging base, blew the main breaker and everything else was OK.

Hi All I have the need to use a VHF/UHF band splitter on a tower. Any experience out there? I have a Larsen AD 2/70 "Antenna Duplexer" that looks like it would do with judicious use of of coax seal.
