Dan,
Below is a copy of an email I posted to the group on 12-5-06. DO NOT
BUY HUSTLER! They refuse to pay me back for the shipping of their POS
antenna. If you have the time and money, save yourself much aggravation
and money, buy a commercial antenna... Check eham on comments on the

I am looking for opinions on what antenna is good for repeater use that
are in the $200-250 dollar range. I am looking at the Antennx and the
Hustler 270R. Opinoins?
Thanks Dan/NØFPE

Sounds like a rather complex repeater needing 2 of each, are you using
the uhf for a link? If so you would want to use a 3 or 5 element beam
and not a omni-directional pair. It is very hard to beat folded dipoles
like the decibel 224 on 2 meters, there are other outfits making similar
stuff and abo

Chris,
The best answer to your question is: "It depends."
First, it depends on where the repeater will be in relation to the
desired coverage area. If it's more or less centrally located, then an
omnidirectional antenna is the obvious choice. However, if the repeater
is at the edge of the cover
Decibel DB 224-E is excellent for 2 meters, runs about $500 form companies like Hutton Communications. Here's a link to the spec's;

For UHF I've used the fiberglass type from Cellwave; Decibel
What would be the best commercial antenna to use as a repeater
antenna? I will be needing to buy at least 2 UHF (440) 2 VHF (2mtr)
antennas for the repeater I'm building.
Hope I can find them at a good price.
