Re: WACOM WP-641 vs. Sinclair Q2330E

The WACOM WP-641 provides 93 dB of rejection at 1.5dB of insertion loss at 600 kHz - if it's a UHF connector version.? If it's an N connector version the rejection is 91 dB or so (yes it's less).? It's easy to tune with simple equipment.? If the cavity interconnect cables say "Modified RG214" you should consider replacing that cable with real RG214/U.? While the cable supplied is double shielded - it's not silver plated.

The Sinclair Q2330e provides nearly 100dB of rejection at 1.5dB of insertion loss at 600 kHz.? This duplexer is considerably more difficult to tune, requiring a VNA (or RLB) to set the pass frequencies.

You don't state what your receive sensitivity is, or whether or not you're going to use a preamp.? If not - either duplexer is sufficient for the MSR-2000.? If you want more reserve isolation - use the Sinclair.

I have both of these duplexers available to replace an existing system.? The site itself is a water tower with an existing DB224 that has been made available to me.? It is mounted at the very top-center of the tank.? There is a backup fire department repeater at the site on UHF.? I dont even think its plugged in.

The tower also has 5G panels mounted all the way around the perimeter.

Given that space is not a consideration and all things being equal, which of the subject duplexers would you choose to put behind an MSR-2000 running 50 60 watts out of the PA?? I have experience with the WP-641, but not the Sinclair.
