I think we are making much ado about nothing here. Certainly, for UHF and VHF duplexers, the lengths of the cables that came with it should be fine for the ham band as well. At least I've never seen one that it matters. Now, I suppose moving one that is for 160-175 down to 146, yeah, you'd have

Here is an idea. How about those of us who have repeaters with duplexers take measurements and post them. This would need to include ALL the information or as much as possible. Even the frequency in use, length and brand would help. The best information would be from duplexers that were o
