Re: the message below about triplexers...

I have stacked beams for 144, 222 and 432. The cable run is
approximately 70 feet. I am also considering adding 1.2 GHz, but that is
another issue entirely.

As the coax is aging, I was considering changing it so. Mike's (WA3TTS)
message about triplexers was interesting. Any additional comments and/or
information? What triplexers would you recommend if indeed it is a
viable option?

Thanks.

<Hi Guys: Keep in mind that BPFs won't stop in-band harmonic energy from
coming down your coax cable and that is something to be concerned about
when a pre-<amp device danger zone is -10dbm with close antenna spacing.

<Triplexers also have good bandpass filtering and save on coax while
having low loss (.15~.5 claimed) . They seem to go $25 to $50 on ebay
which is cheaper than three separate bandpass filters. Mike WA3TTS
