I repaired out APRS digi today. It has an G6 on it.
Bracket holding the antenna to the tower came loose and fell to where the
antenna was just held up by the coax 20 ft in the air. Got the antenna/ brack
mounted back on the tower, replaced the coax, and the antenna works just fine.
Now I see why the club uses the G6 so much...

disagree...
Like any other cheap solution, with the proper care
(replace ground plane radials with solid rod, heat shrink the joints and top)
the Hustler G series will work fine in Full Duplex Applications. I have
some that have been up for over 10 years and are still doing
fine....

Joe,
I always found that the G6, and G7
had high desense when used in a FDX application. Also, the overall thin
aluminum design of these things keeps me from putting them on a tower where I
can't easily get to them. Lastly, the radials on my G7 never seemed to
stay in one spot (the ends of them crushed down over time under the mounting
plate). The cheapest thing I have used on my 2 meter repeater stuff now
is a Diamond that was silver soldered at every joint.
