Usually the diplexer as a filter is only needed to keep the 2m tx from overloading a 70cm preamp. For a two radio setup with no preamp, it usually isn't needed at all. 73, Drew KO4MA Sent from my iPhone On Jun 3, 2012, at 10:45 PM, Greg D ko6th.g...@gmail.com wrote: So, all the on-line

My portable setup using an arrow antenna doesn't use a diplexor or duplexor. With the setup for 2m uplink, I connect my VX5R to the two meter driven element with a piece of RG-8X. I connect my Icom IC R10 to the 432 mhz driven element with another piece of RG-8X. Just turn the radios on,

Robert: I have used a duplexer on the UHF side of my satellite ops for several years. I find that some radios have more of a desense problem than others. Here is a link to my website where I briefly talk about what I do on portable ops and using what is referred to as a Mode J filter -

So, all the on-line information seems to point to this solution - putting a diplexer (filter) on the 70cm side to tap off and absorb the incoming 2m signal. Isn't there also a design where one puts a filter on the 2m side, to tap off and absorb the 70 cm (3rd harmonic of 2m) signal? I would

If I understand your wiring, I think you have it correct. Is this what you are trying to do? http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/articles/Mode-J/ Note that for mode-B satellites where you are transmitting on 70cm and receiving on 2m, this won't work. In my experience, the extra filtering is also
