I dunno... but for what it's worth I will share my experience. 7
years ago I tried a new-out-of-the-box G6 on my 2m repeater and had
major trouble with it. I had loud crackling in even a moderate wind.
Completely unusable in duplex service. I replaced it with
something else, but last year I decided to try a G6 again... bought
another new one and had identical problems to the first. Obviously
some people use them on duplex systems and don't have problems...
but I will not buy another one for use on my repeaters. They hold up
well and I'd use them anywhere except on a repeater.
