Cameron Conover wrote a new post, COMPARING DUPLEXERS, MFJ VS. DIAMOND 8 years, 11 months ago
I put up a new Diamond X200A antenna on my chimney and I wanted to share it between a Dstar hotspot on UHF and My Icom 746 on 2m, in order to do that I needed to use a diplexer. I used to use a duplexer in my […]

Cameron Conover replied to the topic Comparing duplexers, MFJ vs. Diamond in the forum Technical Discussions 8 years, 11 months ago
Summary
I’d say both of these duplexers are useable, they’d both do the job acceptably. Remember that the Diamond was broken, after just a few weeks in service I had to take it out of service because of broken solder joints. I had to repair those solder joints in order to do these tests.
Even though both of these are useable there is a clear…[Read more]

The next thing I wanted to check out is the actual out of band attenuation of each. For this I used an S12 test on a network analyzer. Unfortunately this network analyzer only goes up to 200Mhz so I can only test reject on the UHF side by sweeping RF in the 2m band through the UHF side of the duplexer. First up is the reject on the diamond…[Read more]

Here is the same sweep test through the MFJ-916B
LPF:
Now that’s refreshing, this filter gets it’s job done in less than half the bandwidth of the Diamond one. 3dB rolloff is around 220Mhz, looks nice and sharp.
MFJ HPF:
3dB rolloff around 311 MhzHot DOG! At this point I get somewhat excited, it’s going to be really nice looking when I…[Read more]

Cameron Conover replied to the topic Comparing duplexers, MFJ vs. Diamond in the forum Technical Discussions 8 years, 11 months ago
The first thing I did with these was to use a signal generator and spectrum analyzer to sweep through the filters and with max-hold record the amplitude of the signal to make it through each of the filters. That’s basically all these things really are, a Low pass filter that the 2m side passes through and a High Pass filter designed for the UHF…[Read more]

Guys, thanks so much for all of the work you’ve put into getting the new system setup properly. So many people would be tempted just to “slap it in” because it’s shiny and new, but you took the time to get it configured properly and with the best options available. We’ll have a world-class setup that we can be proud of because of your dedication and work, and I’m looking forward to hearing it soon.
