Gary, Duplexer of choice for me is the Sinclair Q2330E. I have had very good results with these on our 75 Watt VHF Micor stations and we use a Angle Linear preamp on the receivers. In your situation where you have a brand new Telewave, I would be tempted to call up Telewave and order 2 more

Operating a 500K spacing duplexer at 600K is not a problem but trying to get a 1M spaced duplexer to operate at 600K will be. The issue is the way the individual pass/notch filters interact with each other. The issue is the Q and how the cavities with their included loops/probes are

Output frequency is 145.450 input is 144.850. How do I figure out what length the cables should be between the rx side and tx side that connect to the T-Connector? Thanks and 73's ! Gary K2ACY If the duplexer was supplied from Telewave on 2M, then what you have is right. LEAVE

Does the amount of power output make a difference with isolation? The paperwork I got shows 82.3 isolation on RX and 81.5 on TX. It appears the printout was done from a spectrum analyzer when TESSCO tuned the duplexer. I am running 25 watts. 73's Gary K2ACY --- In

Jim, Thanks for the response. The duplexer is a Telewave TPRD1554. They are brand new and bought from Tessco tuned. The cable on the RX side is marked 11 in black marker on the connector and the TX side is marked 11 1/2 . Both cables terminate at the T. I just want to feel assured that they

The values jive close with what I have here. An original TPRD-1454 I ordered direct from Telewave on 145.470 MHz. Have no problem running the mentioned duplexer at about 45 watts and a decent .2uV receiver. Works great... lasted without fail from 1987 when I paid about $630 new for it. Prices
