I use the EMR Z-matchers, they are a real blessing!! No screwing around
with coax or worrying about keeping the rack neat because I just cut a
RG142 jumper shorter than I should have. I just get the length I want
and insert a Z-matcher.

Anyone have any idea
what length of
coax I should run from the transmitter and receiver to the
duplexer? I have a Sinclair Q2220E and freq of 147.225
Transmit.
Any info about this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If the entire system is 50 ohms, then the length is immaterial.
Use quality coax (see Bob Dengler's message a few higher in
the list) with silver plated connectors (no nickel) and start
hooking things up.
Folks use magic lengths to compensate for non-50-ohm
environments, especially solid-state TXs, and to get the SWR
under control.....
there was a thread on Z-matchers a while back.... I'd really
like someone to consolidate all of that into an article for the
archives at
