No. There are two sides, one of them for the high frequency and the

Ok thanks. Note that they are tunable anywhere in the 136-17? range.

Assuming the pass side is set to pass 145.600 (the input) and the notch
side is set to notch out 145.000 (the output) and they are connected in
series, would that work?


It is not a pass side and a notch side. Both sides are pass/notch.

But on one side the pass freq is above the notch freq, and on the
other side the pass freq is below the notch freq.

On the Chinese duplexers you have found, the Q is probably not high
enough to tune the pass and notch to frequencies 600 kHz apart.
