Lewis, Quiet the interesting and extreme take on this. How is equipment made to operate in the 10.7 to 11.7Ghz band out of compliance? You do realize that band 7 and 8 are SUB-bands of the 11Ghz licensed band right? And that a diplexers is simply a passively tuned filter? You make it seem like we are about to build out own pirate 11ghz radio.
We would never do anything out of compliance. My question was just that, a simple question about how tight the diplexer may or may not be. Money isn't the problem, Had you read my original post to the end, you'd see that it's the length of time to receive parts, not cost that is the concern.
