FYI,
A buddy installed a G6 on his repeater here locally atop a 5,000 ft + Mountain.
They went back up about 30 days later and could not believe what condition it
was in. I kept hearing stories over the radio about how it looked like it had
been up there years. When they took it down, and
ANY Ham grade antenna should never be installed in a commercial environment.
They are cheap for a reason.
Go with a Decibel Products, Celwave, ASP or, Scala.
The problem you get into with used antennas is that they are usually
450-460, 460-470 or, 450-470
The 450-460 will normally work down

We are considering replacing a damaged antenna on a 440 machine. Anyone

to work about as well as a similar sized (but a LOT thicker)
commercial antenna that we'd also used. Feedline was the same and they
were both about the same height on top of a building. I know there
have been a lot of

Have used the G440 on my Repeater iin Ohio. Works very well, except when
it ices up, then SWR range goes Down.

Same experience here. Not that much ice where my repeaters are, so that's
