Harold,
?I know you're right there. I didn't want to do this with so many connections. I liked the harness the duplexer came with. I was told/advised it was just not the right length being the duplexer was originally tuned around 170mhz. Then going down to 145.330 MHz.?
?
I have tried calling & emailing Sinclair to ask about getting the correct harness from them. They just never returned my calls or emails. Whats odd is I've heard several stories about how Hams have got help from Sinclair & they were happy to help out. One fella told me he talked to a Mr. Sinclair about some duplexers years back. Idk if that's true or not but it sounded nice.
?
?This is the sheet they came with. Idk if this is from Sinclair directly, but looks like someone bought them through tessco originally.?
?
As for the VNA on the ground for $850. Sounds like it need to get to some ham fest lol. I quit going years ago. I used to have friends to go with. But they aren't around now days. They have either passed away or got out of the hobby.?
It's not much fun doing things solo. To me life is about the experiences. It's fun to share them. Otherwise it feels like what I'd image drinking alone is like..lol. idk, I don't drink.
