first, we are going to try the unit as is and pay close attention to rx
sensitivity and swr.
second, we'll retune the notches (this was recommended by mary brown @ tx/rx)
third, they go back in a box for a trip back to mama (tx/rx)

It is a characteristic of BpBr (bandpass/bandreject) duplexers that the pass
function is very broad while the reject notch is extremely sharp. While it is
true that a 15 kHz shift will probably not be noticed on the pass, it *might* be
