2 Radios 1 antenna

Post by VA7EDN »

I am contemplating using a TYT th9800 (2 meter) and a Yaseu FT450D (6-160meter) in my base shack. I am also comtemplating using a Gap Challenger DX multi band antenna (2-80 meter) for both the units. What would be the best way to connect these please? Would a duplex unit work ?
cheers

A VHF/HF diplexer with the appropriate split would work.

Note that a duplexer is something different.

I wonder if the Comet CF-706A would work for you? Comet calls it a "duplexor". It's a band-pass filter.

On one side you have HF and 6m, on the other you have 2m, 1.25m, and 70cm.

Band Pass / Insertion Loss / Max Power
1.3-57MHz / 0.4dB / 350w PEP
75-550MHz / 0.4dB / 350w PEP

Isolation: 40dB minimum

CONNECTORS:
Common: SO-239
Low pass: PL-259
High Pass: PL-259
