Eric, I agree.. "on the money" usually equates to the maximum performace for your intended application. Unfortunately the result is not always within the designed parameters of the cavity and performance from design specs suffers slightly. But if it suits your needs and performance is acceptable,

Ken, I think the "stock answer" is the one to follow. Actually, since the bandpass tuning on a typical BpBr duplexer is rather broad, while the notch tuning is very sharp, better results might be achieved by tuning the center (bandpass) rod so that the notch is where you want it, rather than look

The notch "generally" will track the pass as it's adjusted, but it's not a fixed-offset kind of thing. If you retune one of the cavities +1 MHz, the notch may move +1.1 MHz, or +0.9 MHz, or ...you get the idea. So, no, you can't just re-tune the pass and assume the notch has followed exactly.

Hi folks I know the "stock" answer, but I'm looking for the non-stock one :-) (and yes, I've read the manual!). But I was wondering (and checking my rationale here). in many Bp/Br cavities, the notch tuning actually tunes to a certain freq above or below the pass-tuned frequency. Therefore, i
