I picked up a PD-526 UHF duplexer as part of a rebuild of a local community college repeater (W6BAB).
See these two photos : <http://www.repeater-builder.com/wa6ilq/pd526-duplexer/duplexer.jpg> <http://www.repeater-builder.com/wa6ilq/pd526-duplexer/rg-8.jpg> As visible in the photos this duplexer is missing the center section of the harness, plus it's so old that it has RG-8 jumpers between the cavities,and the outer jacket of that RG-8 is cracking. I'd like to replace the entire harness with modern cable but need some length measurements of the harness. Does anybody have one that they can measure? Any suggestions as to cable, or a vendor ? My current plan is to use RG-393 and new Kings or Amphenol N Connectors. (Why 393? Well, it's going on a 60 watt repeater right now, and RG142 would be fine, but down the road the duplexer will probably end up on the output of a 250 w Micor, and if you are going to make up a harness that will be used for the next 30 years why impose limits on yourself ? Besides RG142 is LOSSY) Mike WA6ILQ
