Two diplexers are embedded in each diplexer unit. In most cases, both diplexers are the same exact type. However, in some cases a single PTP 820C HP unit might have to operate in two channels that are not covered by the same diplexer. When this is required, the diplexer unit can be ordered with two different diplexers in a single diplexer unit to cover two different channel ranges within the same frequency band.
