Hmm, I don't know what to say. I tried 2 different GP-9's & had the exact same performance. I then replaced the GP-9 with a Diamond & the UHF performance immediately improved, & became a close match to the 2 meter. -- Original Message -- Received: Mon, 30 Jan 2006 11:54:23 AM CST > > My

About 8 years ago, I tried using a Comet GP-9 antenna combined to serve two repeaters, one on 2 meters & the other on UHF. I found the GP-9 worked FAR better on 2 meters than on 445 MHz. I was running good GE Mastr Pro repeaters, good pass/reject duplexers, good ARR GaAsFET pre-amps, and had NO

Overall real performance isn't where I'd like it to be, I suspect the antenna is bad. We'll try changing it out later this week. We have some other more interesting symptoms, which I'd like to hear opinions on, but let me describe the system: Comet GP-9 dual band antenna. Can't change to a dif
