are you trying to plate these parts yourself? cause if so, well, you might as well forget it. take it somewhere and have it done. the reason being is that it is done using a cyanide-based solution. it was tough to get before 9-11, now, forget it. now there is Immersion Silvering but that wouldnt work well enough to make a differance (i believe) in performance from the duplexer... just fine yourself a company that will do it for you. you're better off (my opinion) Dave Stephens KF6WJA Grants Pass Or

I have just purchased the "bible" but sad to say there is very little effort put into what is needed/required in the process of electroplating with silver. 73 John
