I used a Comet GP9 for about 2 years on a 444 Mhz repeater, then connected a 2 meter repeater to it. The 2 meter system performed FAR better than the UHF system. Both repeaters were nearly identical in performance otherwise, the GP9 simply performed much better on 2 meters.
A couple years later I changed sites and the repeaters each got their own antennas. Then they performed roughly the same. ------ Original Message ------ Received: Fri, 08 Jan 2010 05:35:36 PM PST From: n...@no6b.com To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater Rebuild Project Input > I recommend the Comet GP9.
