Are these Band pass, Band Reject? or Pass only? Changing the cables will help alot since you are 20 MHz off. You would have an easier time if your cans were in the 150-155 MHz range. But a good way to be sure is to just test one cavity by its self and see if you can make spec at your frequency.

cavity to cavity spacing should be an electrical 1/4 wave. So you will need to know your cables velocity factor to do the calculations. Do not forget to measure to the center of the "Tee" connector for the lengths. And I was told that the duplexer to TX/RX should not be a multiple of a 1/4 wave
