 ### Diplexer
 
-The LoRa APRS transceiver (70cm) and the APRS transceiver (2m) are connected to a triplexer, making it possible to use one dual band antenna for both radios. Why a triplexer? Well, I had one laying around. I terminated the unused 1200MHz connector with a 50 Ohm load. But a diplexer would have been sufficient, of course.
+The LoRa APRS transceiver (70cm) and the APRS transceiver (2m) are connected to a diplexer, making it possible to use one dual band antenna for both radios. The diplexer is designed specially for this project. The port isolation is not great, but because of the small transmit power of the two transceivers, this is not a big deal. And even so: it outperforms a commercial Diamond triplexer on the 70cm band.

+- Connect a dummy load to the combined 2m/70 cm port
+- Connect an SWR meter and a 70cm transmitter to the 70cm port
+- Adjust C1, C2 and C3 for the best SWR
+- Connect the SWR meter and a 2 meter transmitter to the 2m port
+- Adjust C4 and C5 for the best SWR
