I'm investigating upgrading my station from its present 500W capability
to 1500W. I've located sources for most of the up-rated bandpass filters
and other hardware required for the project, but can't seem to find a
source for a duplexer to split a 80-40 dipole for SO2R use. I'm
presently using one of the Low Band Systems 500W 80/40/20 triplexers for
this function. LBS apparently makes a 1500W 80/40 duplexer, but it
appears the LBS stuff is no longer available in the USA. Does anyone
have or know of a suitable 1500W unit? I do NOT need it to be rated for
100% duty cycle since I'm only interested in CW and occasional SSB use,
but it needs to hold up under contest conditions with a full power
amplifier.
4O3A makes a nice 20/15/10 triplexer, but they don't have any high power
80/40 units. Antennas-Amplifiers (distributed by DX Engineering) makes
nice HP bandpass filters, but not a triplexer or duplexer. VA6AM (also
distributed by DX Engineering) doesn't have any high power devices.
