Re: [amsat-bb] Duplexer

["Scott Avery WA6LIE" <wa6lie@xxxxxxx>]

James,

"Diplexers" are not directional, so YES you can use it as you want,
for 2 antennas or 2 radio inputs and 1 antenna.
A "Duplexer" is used on the same band for seperating transmitter and
receiver into 1 antenna as in use on repeaters.

73, Scott
