Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB-224 Tower Side Mounting

[russ]

We have done this many times with good to fair luck. We use a five 5' bracket and point all for dipoles at the tower. Does not work bad. Real close to omni. 73 Russ, W3CH   ----- Original Message ----- From: Joel Mele To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, August 16, 2004 5:03 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] DB-224 Tower Side Mounting Has any one solved the problem of omni directional pattern distortion when side mounting a DB-224 on a tower ?   I've side mounted several DB-224's using the DB 5001 side mount kit.     The results agreed with the radiation pattern supplied by Decibel Products, i.e. a distortion of the omni pattern and signal attenuation off the tower leg that the antenna is mounted on.   Will different mounting distances off the tower leg improve the omni pattern ?   Can a 224 be mounted on each side of the tower with a phasing harness or power divider ?   BTW, the tower I'm using has a 42" face.   Any ideas will be appreciated.   TNX...Joel W4SLH Yahoo!
