Jeff, That's quite possible, but I did not check it because the Sinclair harness was completely made up of Delta connectors crimped onto RG-214/U cable. The harness came preassembled as one long piece of coax with five N-male tees crimped into place, with N-male connectors on the ends going to the transmitter and receiver. I do remember that the cables between the antenna tee and the first cavities were about the same distance longer as the between-cavity jumpers were longer, for the low-split.

With that length being wrong, the two sides of the duplexer are not fully decoupled, i.e. the reject notch on one side isn't being "echoed" exactly 1/4 wave away back at the tee. I'd bet that if you only increased the lengths of the cables between the first cavities and the tee that the measured performance would have been comparable to replacing the entire harness. --- Jeff Yahoo!
