Decibel quit making the
ham-band DB420 (S-420-440-450) as of Jan 1 this year. From what I was
told, the harnesses for that antenna and other low-volume custom jobs were
hand-made in Mexico. Either that plant was closing, or the contract house
in Mexico that was making them was closing, whichever the
case.
The standard DB420B (450-470)
works well in the ham band anyway, usually better than 15 dB return loss down to
442 MHz. The low-split DB420A (406-420) works OK up to about 433
MHz.
The broadband Sinclair dipole
arrays are excellent antennas, but they are pricey.
If anybody is building a
420/430 link hub or the like and needs any low-split dipole arrays, I have a
DB411 (brand new) and a DB420 (used, very good condition) for 406-420 (pickup
only in Philadelphia area).
