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 about 500 bux is good cost. If the repeater is going to have uhf repeater the hustler g5 has been used on 4 systems I have helped with and the results are very good considering the terrain and UHF propagation habits, these systems all use ldf4 or better hardline - do not scrimp on the antenna or hardline as these cost the most to change and the weather season is getting real short for tower work. You should ask some of the nearby repeater users what they have and if they have a line on any spares.
