I agree, if it's a single duplexed antenna and feedline. But in this case there were two separate antennas, each with it's own feedline. The receiver used a Stationmaster (or it might have been a SuperStationmaster) on 7/8 inch Heliax, and the transmitter used a single Jampro on 1 5/8 inch Heliax. So the -3db that the Jampro provided did NOT affect the receive - it had it's own separate RF environment. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo!
