That's why I got the diamond one, I have diamond antennas I love so I 
figured they'd make a quality duplexer and I really can't complain. I wish I 
didn't have to use an adapter on the UHF side, but I bought that originally 
for something else that needed 2 PL259 connectors and since that project 
went south, I decided I might as well use this one for what I am rather than 
spend money for a new one. I had the adapter anyway though I can't remember 
for the life of me why I bought it or where I got it.
