I'd suggest using four if you have the tower real estate. Adjust each element individually on the tower up in the clear (not necessarily in the final location, but away from obstructions). I don't know how the harness was designed for three elements, but making one for four is easy. Each

In a previous life I managed the communications for a state police agency. We used 45 MHz for our main system and had forty some odd tower sites, almost all running DB212-3 antennas. Two of the sites were on 1000+ towers and used a single DB-212 element due to the large tower face and the
