I would not expect matching a 50 ohm antenna to a good quality filter

are designed for.

The stop band performance is dependent on the antenna and filter
impedances out of band, at certain phases this can lead to a
re-entering stop band. I've been dealing with the consequences of this
in my day job very recently, it is a real and significant effect in
some circumstances. It's also not trivial to fix.



Indeed Brian, also if you look at the DCI filters there are quite
large returns in the stop bands.

What are the effects of this on my proposed operation?


The effects are that it is not a good idea to parallel filters using
coax and tee pieces.

Are you deliberately trying to be obscure? "It's a bad idea" is not an effect but rather a rather vaguely stated opinion. Would you please advise what the deleterious effects of connecting the filters in that way would be.
