Not really, there are more expensive crossband couplers though. As long as you don't take a lightning strike you will be fine. If/when that happens buy another 60 dollar coupler. I used one of the cheap Comet crossband couplers fro years until I built my tower, I then came across a tower company that was going out of business and I bought all his "stuff" for pennies on the dollar. Along with that "stuff" came about 20 Microwave Associates crossband couplers of varying models. They are built like tanks inside and do pretty well in lightning strikes. I have had several at 475 feet since late 1998 with no problems.

I use a ham grade diplexer (Daiwa or MFJ or something) to connect the output(s) of the 2 meter and 440 duplexer(s) to a single feedline feeding a dual band Cushcraft colinear. This set-up works great, and the diplexer introduces very little VSWR into the system. Howver I am sure there is a more professional method of combining the two repeater duplexers to the common feedline. Any suggestions ? Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
