Dave is absolutely correct. The original post states 160 Watts in to the duplexer and 130 Watts out. That equates to less than a dB of loss through the duplexer ( .9 db to be more accurate ). Wade - KR7K Where did you acquire that from this thread? My VSWR was after the duplexer? Mathew

Either your wattmeter is lying, or you have one of two worse problems.. 1) Check your TX with a spectrum analyzer. I'll bet that your on-frequency power is down. A wattmeter reads power on all frequencies - spurs or on frequency. I was bit by that oversight years ago. A 6m 100w TX that used
