Derek, Take a look at this one. You can build your own and by choosing components you can can handle all the power you want: http://home.datacomm.ch/hb9abx/duplexer.html and for hf-6/2/70cm: http://home.datacomm.ch/hb9abx/diplhf6m-vuhf.html The weak link will be the capacitors and you can

And they have lots of duplex noise, even on 440 :) I changed all the cabling on mine to RG 393 (142, 214 would work too). Duplex noise gone after that! James Ken Arck wrote: At 03:13 PM 2/1/2005 -, you wrote: Does anyone have, or know where I can get plans to homebrew a

I guess that could be a problem, but I've had pretty good luck with mine. If they are kept in a controlled environment so the coax doesn't pull in water, they should be OK. If you're really concerned about it, you can go with a pigtailless model. Bob NO6B At 2/1/2005 11:55 AM, you wrote:
