Bill, The obvious suggestion is: Not another Hustler G-7! It is a mediocre performer in duplex service, even when new, and its relatively fragile construction is not appropriate for hilltop repeaters.
One of the best antennas for 2m repeater service is the RFS / Celwave (formerly Phelps-Dodge) 220-2 "Super Stationmaster" Omni fiberglass antenna. The "-2" suffix identifies the model that covers 142-150 MHz. I have one of these models in service, and it works like a dream. Although it is listed as a 5.25 dBd gain antenna, the fine print note states that the gain below 150 MHz is 4.8 dBd. Its overall length is 19.2 feet. Expect to pay about $580 plus taxes and shipping from TESSCO or other commercial radio equipment suppliers. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY eject12 wrote: > > Our current repeater antenna, a Hustler G-7, has broken at one of the joints. > We need to replace this antenna.
