Some duplexers pass the desired frequency, lose something on each side, but then pass stuff from DC to over 1GHz as if it's not even in the circuit. My Celwave 526 operates that way. The bandpass tuning is rather broad and serves to match the impedance more than effect the bandpass of the signal. T
