Dave, I'm not sure who your question was directed to, but if it is me, here's my answer: When the Sinclair Q202-G duplexer cable harness is laid out straight, use a Sharpie pen to draw a line on the "back" of each of the five tee connectors that are crimped onto the cable. This mark will be in the exact center of the tee, and in line with the center of the side connector that plugs into the loop assembly on each of four cans. On the high-split cable harness, these marks will be 12 inches apart. On the low-split cable harness, these marks will be 14 inches apart.

Dave, W7GK Bill Photinos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Thanks to all who have replied. You have been a great help. Have calculated the harness length for my freqs to be ~15.9" when taking into account the velocity factor of the interconnect cable etc. Believe it or not the original cable on our cans is RG-213 and not RG-214. We are replacing with high quality double shielded(100%) cable. FYI the harness is currently $311 from Sinclair. It will ending up costing us around $100 in parts to assemble our own harness. Significant difference. Hope to have it completed and up on our DSTAR repeater in a couple of days or so. Thanks again & 73s Bill - W4RVN
