Don't tune pass or pass/reject cavities with a tracking generator and spectrum analyzer which shows only insertion loss. Don't. Don't. Don't. You need to look at return loss. Search the archives - this issue has come up and beaten down on more than one occasion... So you can't tune them

If I take all the opinions I've seen in the last month as fact, then the pass adjustments on duplexers can't be tuned. I'll take most of what you said as being sarcastic, but your point is taken. If tuned with a quality network analyzer, or with a return loss bridge and high return loss

From reading your post, what I'm getting is that the Icom is keying the VXR5000 okay. When the VXR5000 receives the responding radio that it isn'y keying the ICOM. If that is right, you also need a similar circuit from the COS circuit in the VXR5000 to key the ICOM. .NEVER CONNECT ONE

The power dividers/combiners are just Wilkinsons. They are built into little square chassis with perforations for cooling, with a monolithic 100 ohm resistor mounted to the chassis and the usual quarter-wave 75 ohm matching sections. Nothing fancy.
