Mike, If you need some I may have a short piece of good MIL RG-214 you can have. I made a new harness for my duplexer and think I have a little piece left over. Collin

That takes away a lot of paths for leakage to bypass your duplexer. And I would add to the rule of thumb that the cable MUST be *silver* plated braid, which much or most of RG214 brands and probably all of RG142 is composed of. Or, my favorite is 1/4" Superflex, solid copper shiel d. Laryn K8TVZ [Image Removed] [Image Removed]
