I am using several of the 3 ANT150F6-1 and 2 -2's along with 2 ant440f6, and 2 ant400f2's from telewave with great success since I have had nothing but problems with the harness on the new db-224's.
The harness Im told have changed and are no longer made in the u.s. either way im no longer a user of the DB224 or folded dipole systems. I also have in use 4 Sinclair SC329 with 7/16" Din So far things are great. No problems at all From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:repeater-buil...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Roger Stacey Sent: Thursday, February 11, 2010 1:32 PM To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] Seeking recommendations for 2 Meter repeater antenna We replaced our Sinclair 210 C4 1/4 spaced antenna with a Comprod 874F 1/2 spaced about 3-4 years ago. A marginal improvement in coverage was noticed. Quality and price point in my opinion is excellent. We also use the same for 2 UHF repeaters. We are very satisfied with our Comprod products and would highly recommend them. I am not involved with the Comprod company other than being a satisfied customer.
