Actally, a DB-224E is a 138-150mhz antenna and is omni. The one you are refering to is actually a DB-224AE. It is an "A" band, 150-160mhz with all elements on one side for the eliptical pattern, thus the E in that case. 73 de N5NPO

Guess they had to make a separate antenna for those folks who didn't want to loosen the elements and rotate them! :-) It took about 4 months to get the harness, so not surprised they don't want to do it. They said they had to wait till they had a run of antennas to make before they'd do the harness. I honestly don't remember how much the harness was. sorry Tim --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com <mailto:Repeater-Builder%40yahoogroups.com> , "NORM KNAPP" <nkn...@...> wrote: > > Interesting.
