Ian, I owe you an apology for my comment about striped tower paint in response to your 'Line Stretcher' post. I never thought of using such a tool on a short line between a transmitter and duplexer. I was thinking such was used in AM broadcast delay lines with phased towers, and never though of using such to correct such minuscule variations as might be found in a VHF or UHF duplexer and it's connection to a radio transmitter. I wonder how many dB of improvement might be achieved optimizing such minor differences and what kind of a jump in S Meter readings folks on the receiving end might realize?
