[amsat-bb] Re: 145 MHz signal blocking 435 MHz downlink

[Jim Jerzycke]

Buy a diplexer, and connect it as shown in the linked article:

I also tilt both of my Yagis so they're 45* to the boom, which makes 
them 90* to each other.

Yes, I lose some signal on terrestrial use, but ti helped cut the 
coupling, and desense, down quite a bit.
