DB4062 conversion?

[Fox4]

So I've been on the hunt for a 6 can duplexer. Particularly the DB4062-B.

I have found one made from a triplexer & made a deal on it. I'm told it's was just a cable change out. Someone made a duplexer cable for it from RG213. The cans have the correct frequency range for a DB4062-B with them right beside the 2M VHF band. 143/148/149 on the factory label. The label also says triplexer but I can't find anything about them online.

I wanted to ask is this a thing that can be done & it works out well? Or did I buy something that may need more work?

I need to find someone to tune them around middle TN area or close by. I wouldn't be shipping them. So it would be a trip there & back driving. They dont have the metal box. These are the black 8" diameter cans mounted on the square stock.

I have one just like it that I have been working on. I just found this link today that might help you. My set has 4 high pass filters marked with a 005 inside the box and 2 low pass marked 004. Will need to swap one 005 for a 004. Cable length is close looks like about a 1/2" short. I will be calling them this week and see what it will cost to do that. Hope this helps.


We got this triplexer from the Civil Air Patrol, they use just above and below 2 meters.

I would not use RG213 and would stick to using dual shielded cable, like RG214.
