RE: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
John, This is a control station that will talk to several local and not so local repeaters for emergency service in disasters. Before I put my tall tower up I had a knock off of a Comet dual band antenna on a 60 foot tower that covered pretty well. Not the best but it kept me from having to put up two antennas and feedlines. I would never use one on my tall tower though. I have several DB-224/DB-410-420's and Sinclair antennas on it for commercial/Ham use through the transmit multi-couplers.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
I printed the spec's, but hadn't had the time to actually sit down & look at them. I agree, with a 50 watt limit, that is dis-appointing. Also, I think Comet & Diamond over-rate thier antennas, so perhaps we should not count on putting more than about 25 watts into them. -- Original Message -- Received: Sun, 20 Nov 2005 04:53:47 PM CST From: Mark Tomany <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz > John, > > Did you notice that these are rated for 50W max??

RE: [Repeater-Builder] repeater ant for 900 mhz
I have my transmit antenna up already thanks to the now defunct Link-Two Communications. They left me holding a bill for several thousand dollars in back rent on the tower. I do have their worthless paging transmitter here if anyone needs a 900 MHz paging base. I have to admit, this transmitter is one of their later models that was actually pretty good, they still sell them under a different name but still in League City, Texas. Guess I could High-grade the Amp and have 300 watts on one of my 900 MHz Ham frequencies! Paul -Original Message- From: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Richard D.
