Is there a cheap way to combine two txcvrs into one antenna... 144.39 APRS and 145.550 packet?

About the only way is via a duplexer. (Cheap? Well... used??? ;- ) Joe M. na4it wrote: Is there a cheap way to combine two txcvrs into one antenna... 144.39 APRS and 145.550 packet?

Maybe a pair of those 6 cavity mobile duplexers with the 5 MHz split can be configured as 6 notch sections each to reject the opposite frequency. and then combine them with a T to the antenna. Lossy, but should be cheap, I've seen those go in the $20 range. On Thu, Jul 15, 2010 at 1:49 PM, MCH

I could live with 3dB of loss which is about what I would expect per leg. I've ran the UHF notch duplexers back wards and they have ran ok, but the insertion loss does go up like 1-2dB. If you want to get picky you would have to modify each set so that the coupling loops and coaxes are the same,
