  Hi Mal

  This was the original 2 port design I used to combine two 500W amps.  =
Works fine.  Steve, VE7SL uses this design done as well for his 1KW amp.

  http://www3.telus.net/sthed/argo/wilk/

  A possible benefit is that the combiner elements provide very good low =
pass filtering so you may not need a separate filter.   Make sure the LO =
chain of both amps is shared.

  This design should be fine for your application and won't need =
ferrite.

    Components would need to be hefty to handle two amps each one =
several hundred watts to get 1w erp on 137
    Maybe the decca approach is better with just a transformer, 3 =
primary winding and one output winding, their method handles 1.2 K/watts =
without any strain.

        Hi Mal

        How many ports?

        I personally prefer air core coils but iron dust work better =
than ferrite for this application.  Amidon #3 is the best.

        Once I know the number of ports I can give you values.

        Regards,
        Scott

          LF/MF    Is anyone using a wilkinson combiner with LF =
amplifiers and if so what are the optimum paramaters for ferrite =
