make an interesting point though, why does the cabling of duplexer's need to be a certain length. I would suspect that its because they are looped and make an inductor. This then is part of the LC filtering, and changing the length effects L. But I could be wrong on that. Jesse On 8/2

I have heard this point argued for years. “Does trimming the coax affect the SWR?” If the length of coax has an affect on impedance, then how could it not affect power out? We strive to maintain 50 ohms at the tail of all devices to match the end load. GE puts matching networks in their Mastr II’s
