Doing some research I have found that each interconnecting jumper must be an electrical 1/4 wave or performance suffers. The jumpers attribute 6.5dB each to the isolation of the duplexer. I havn't gotten around to replacing the RG-214 jumpers on my set of 2M cavitys but it may help my performance as the original set is on 156Mhz some where.
And if you can find one for cheap and circulator in place of the final RX/TX/ANT Tee helps cans with weak(70-80dB) isolation like the Wacom WP-639 and Sinclair Q2202E by providing approx an extra 20dB of isolation. I picked up a surplus EMR circulator over the weekend for $50 and already the customers have noticed much improvement. Yahoo!
