I did try large heliax but it was not really a great success
as you say with just 500 split it can be difficult, but the frequencies are
allocated by our regulator here in the UK
I have every thing else working fine, tx/rx
For all the looking I've done, I've only ever found one place on the web

There is also 6 and 3/8 heliax. I know this for sure as I saw
a 15-20 foot length hiding in the grass behind a hilltop transmitter
building a year or two ago.
Dunno how well it would work for a duplexer.

Final post: Depending on size (dia.) and length you might consider
getting sheet copper of the appropriate thickness and having a
sheetmetal fabrication shop cut it and roll it to your dimensions.
They could also form a lap seam or lock seam where the 2 edges meet
and cut your end plates

Has anyone used the foam 1 5/8 instead of air line for a duplexer?

Split site is very common on 10m and 6m repeaters, there's no need for
man-size duplexers then.

Al,
Using 3 1/8 Heliax is approaching the proper length to diameter
ratio for optimum Q which should provide a deeper notch and increase
the total isolation. It may even be enough to eliminate one cavity
per leg. All of the designs I've seen use the foam type, I doubt the
air line
And the equipment is located where?

Since you have 500 kHz split you will need cans which as you have
found expensive. Some have used 1-5/8 heliax with success, but don't

6 meters is a very different band and does not always act like the typical 2
meter repeater band. It's somewhere between HF and VHF, has some unique
problems with noise (both manmade and natural). It takes a lot of perseverance

I think split sites with a link would work the best on 6 meters.
Duplexers are large and expensive for 6. Spacing may need to be in

I agree...
One other thought is that a lot of you guys are using the
lower range repeater pairs. Joe and myself are up on the
high end of the band and sometimes that extra mhz or two
makes a pretty big difference. Moving up is something to
really think about if you're getting hosed.
