[Repeater-Builder] Re: Dual-Band Repeater Antenna
I would sugest going to a DB-408 antenna and take a DB-222 antenna and mount it on the same mast or use its supplied mast and invert the elements and mount it upside down on the side arm. Point the 2 DB-222 elements tward the tower that will give you a close to omni pattern. Then use a dual band coupler to feed the two antennas. This should last a long time and have no issues. Paul R.

I have a Diamond X50 high atop the School gym roof at about 1588 ft asl. It runs into a MFJ diplexer and serves a 20 watt 440 repeater and 65 watt 2 meter tranceiver just fine.
