[Repeater-Builder] Re: Use a band pass filter between pass-reject duplexer and antenna?

Eric Lemmon WB6FLY gave the best response to my question of how common is it to place a bandpass fillter betweeen antenna and duplexer. Most assumed a ham repeater with tx circulator and high rejection pass/reject duplexer which is correct. As I read the resposes it seems the answer is: this

Hi all, This topic is very well described in an article (on Kevin's website) by Jacques Audet VE2AZX. It is a large file but well worth the time downloading. You will find an excellent explanation of the various types of duplexers in which, at the end, he recommends this discussed
