Hi,

I work Low Power...so, a 100 W Triplexer is OK for my SO2R project...

I have separated 5B4AGN filters...and a multiband vertical (40 to 10m) few
feet from the tower with the tribander and 2 elem on 40m with a separated
feed line.

73,

Doug, CO8DM

I used the Dunestar Triplexer for a while, and it worked great, 
not a trace of interference between bands at the 100 watt power 
level.

Now I have the 4O3A Triplexer System, and it works fine at 1500 
watts:

I have been thinking about a Triplexer to share my Tribander with 
both
radios...what Triplexers do you suggest ?

Unless you are going to invest in a triplexer, two band pass 
filters and a
SO2R controller having a 6X2 or 4X2 unit will be of little 
benefit.

A few words about this relative to SO2R.  You only need a full 6 
x 2 if you
have monoband antennas.  If, for instance you have a tribander, a 
40/80
vert, and an inv L on 160, then you only have a need for 3 slots. 
Same with
a band decoder.  So you should start by mapping out the planned 
antenna
configurations and then decide.  Also, how fae is the base of the 
tower from
the shack?  If the tower is pretty close and there are not 6 
antennas out
there, a simple manual switching system could work fine - 
properly labeled.



The YCCC (www.yccc.org) has a SO2R box kit.  There may be others. 
The issue
is obtaining all the parts.



MFJ sells a manual 2 x6 switch which could make sense if the 
tower is right
on the other side of the wall from the station set up or if the 
tower is
directly on the roof above.
