I completely agree and share your interpretation of the correct use of the name in order to identify different equipment with and for different functions. But even reputable manufacturers misidentify diplexers as duplexers, and this has led to widespread confusion in the amateur radio community. 73 CS7AWJ
I have not much experience, and therefore need to look it all up. You are right about calling that device a Diplexer. I see that even established ham radio web shops call the same device a Duplexer. There is a clear difference though. I stumbled upon this same semantics problem as was looking for a commercial splitter. As I have understood a Duplexer duplicates the signal, is also a 3-port device, and have a separation / isolation between the 2 duplicated channels. You could also be right about the application within a repeater. But those devices are often called directional coupelers. And you also have circulators that also do similar thing 🙂 But I need to study it some more. 73!

Yes, sadfully, that's what they write on their website at the moment :(. Let's hope they will catch-up soon. 73! Linas LY2H
China's internal woes are creating enormous supply chain problems.
Yes it's a diplexer. KE6VG
