Re: TS2000 on dualband antenna (for sat work)
Hi John Let me try tomorrow and report back, I have never tested this. Henk, PA3GUO
Has anyone on the list tried using a Kenwood TS2000 on full duplex satellite operatation using a dualband VHF/UHF antenna and a diplexer? Is it possible or is there too much desensitization thru the diplexer to make full duplex work?

There's probably less desence than using two antennas without diplexers/filters.

It works fine.
Used a TS2000E via a MX2000 tri-plexer to a co-linear both u/v and v/u with no problems. Worked the States and Canada this way via F0-29.
Also used a Create CLP5130 log periodic connected in the same way.
Just keep the TX power as low as is needed to hear your own signal and no more.
