Hi Kent,
How much power would you expect the design in the PDF to handle?
Note: This is not to imply I am using high power into a satellite.
I made a “break-down” version of the Cheap-LEO. It still needs some refinements, such as shedding weight.
Thank you!

How are his construction skills? Here is the diagram for an easy to build 145-435 MHz
splitter/diplexer. http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf
Can be built as shown, or in a metal box with connectors.
It would even be possible to locate the diplexer near the antenna, then he would only
have one long coax run. 73 Kent WA5VJB

Several companies make a VHF/UHF Diplexer. The 145/435 MHz signals are split in filters.

Friend of mine just got a M2 Eggbeater SatPack 1setup for VHF/UHF.
His rig covers both bands however only has a PL259 output so he’s wondering how to feed those antennas with one feedline up to the boom. Is there an RF switched coax relay box or something else that will maybe work? I’ve always had radios with 2 RF coax outputs on the radio, then run 2 lines up to the tower & each antenna.
I told him I’d post on here to see what feedback I got.
Thanks
