Paul, My comment applied generally to VHF duplexers, which can be detuned by rough handing. At UHF, you can use a "mobile" duplexer, which is far more rugged. I was not thinking about GMRS being your intended application. I don't think you need to employ a simplex repeater in this case. They a

Mathew, Actually, if the duplexer insertion loss is really 2.2 dB, you should get 120.5 watts out for 200 watts in. Once you consider the small additional loss in jumpers, connectors, adapters, etc., you're not too far off the mark. The tolerance and linearity of your power measuring instrument

I agree, but at this point, I am only getting 100 watts out of the duplexers instead of the 137 watts I would like to see.  Now you mention something that I might now be aware of, and that is the interaction between the rx side and the tx side, could that have an effect on the power out, however

Mathew, I think you will find that the RF at high power is probable correct. The difference you see between low power and high is about 17dB. Unless you are measuring the low power down to 0.01 watts it will be difficult to find the real loss. Provided all is working correctly the RF power levels

Ok, running the TX-RX duplexer, with a 2.2 dB insertion loss, I tuned the duplexers on the monitor. All three of them looked identical, with rejection on the rx side of -80 dBm on each single cavity. Once I tied them all together, the rx rejection was better then -10 dBm, all went well there.
