[amsat-bb] Re: Duplexer Terminator

[Andrew Glasbrenner]

Hi Al,

Have you looked at http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/articles/Mode-J/ ? If you 
install it the way the diagram indicates, you won't need the 50 Ohm load. 
This setup kills the desense cold. If you really insist on the terminator, 
solder a 2 watt 50 Ohm resistor across a connector...but trust me you don't 
need it as long as it is set up like in the article.
