I must have missed some posts - my inbox ran out of space (I'm on the road and not checking email as often as I usually do), so my apologies if I'm asking questions that have already been answered...

Maybe I'm not understanding right. Are you saying that by varying the cable length between the transmitter and the duplexer that you can affect the insertion loss of the duplexer? And also that by varying the cable length between the transmitter and the duplexer that you can vary the reflected power on that same line? Please tell me I'm reading this wrong...I've been on the road a long time and working a lot of long hours, so it's quite possible... --- Jeff WN3A
