Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: DB224 "Loop" Lengths for 145.110 Mhz?

Hello All, Do not count on this info being right. The top needs to be right from the top of the mast support pipe to the 1st dipole and then center to center on each after. If the support pipe is not long enough get a longer one. They come in different lengths one for 222 is shorter then one for 174 and one for 144 is longer then the support pile for 174. I have noted this in our warehouse when they are side by side. Here at work we take a DB-224 in band and tune it to the frequency need  by the user and everything on this antenna matters so be mindful when you tune or covert one. Matthew is correct after you change the dipoles for Ham uses from the 150 range you must change the harness to make it play right. Oh it will work but not as well as it could. Like someone said this morning on the list. There are people who use mag mounts and tell you how great they work. BIG GRIN! Dean Westbrook, EE,PE Cook Towers, INC.     Yahoo!
