Good timing, I just now have one on the bench tune up. This 526 was originally on 454/459MHz. Both cables from the tee to the cans are 12 inches. This is measured from the far end of the N connector on both ends. In other words, it includes the length of the N connector. The 2 cables are Intercomp RG-214/U, so if you use something else you will have to take Velocity Factor in mind. Interestingly, the 4 inter-cavity cables are PDCC Type RG-8A/U cable. I don't know if this was an economy choice, or if the cables needed to be more flexible to make the sharp bends.
Or, someone replaced some or all of the cables on the duplexer I have here. I'll see if I can check a couple of other 526's. 73, Joe, K1ike Al Wolfe wrote: > Have a Phelps Dodge 526 UHF duplexer that's missing the cables from the > tee to the cans.
