Ken, If your T1500 cavity is the loop type such that the SO239's are closer to the tuning screw, you can set the pass to 434.xxx and the reject to 442.675, but might have to move the stationary knob to the outer position to get greater than a 5Mhz split. Rejecting that way is only effective

I sat back and waited for all the responses, and you're on the right track. I've done this using band pass cavities on both UHF and VHF. The only error is that you should not terminate the cavity with a 50 ohm load. You will be able to see the difference (terminated, then unterminated),
