I have seen the "screw in the ends" modification and am leaning in that direction. But they need to be well sealed I am sure to prevent corrosion and the associated noise that can be produced. I understand that the element to the support contact needs to be welded also to remove that intermit

I just measured mine (not as cold in North Florida as for you guys, but it was interesting to measure the deminsions on my two antennas: Both Had top element center 26" from top of pipe (so that was OK.) Both had 34.25 inch loops (top to bottom)(reasonable) Both had 62" separations from center

Thank you, Mathew. I had been following the discussion of element spacing. Now I need to measure my spacing to see if it is in the right range - I suspect not. What was the spacing that you determined was correct for yours? Russ N4KOX --- In Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com, Mathew Quaife <[E

I need to mesaure the DB224 I have for use at 145.11 Mhz. and modify as necessary. Someone had given me the 2 meter loop "length" but I can not locate it. Anyone know what it should be? or the range for Amateur 2 Meters vs. commercial 150+? Thanks a lot for your help. Russ N4KOX Y

There is another possibility that I have run into with my Decible Products Antennas of the DB-224 type: If the elements of the antenna are not welded to the metal suport on one end, corrosion can occur and movement can be experienced. If the DB-224 antenna you are using is not "welded" but

I want to add a 9600 bps digital regenerator to my MSR 2000 repeaters. I need a service manual for VHF and a service manual for UHF or the access points to connect 9600 fsk transmit signal and 9600 fsk receive signal output. Also, need to know points to inhibit PL on Transmit. Thanks for a
