Hi Rick,
Very nice antenna you have there. The standard range
for the vhf model should be 138-174Mhz, broad band and
with a very nice amount gain. You can make it semi
directional by placing the dipoles in line. If they
are 90 degree offset from each other, the radiation
is near circular depending on the the adjacent mount
(ie the tower).
A very expensive antenna and you have the enclosed
feed line version. It's matching harness/method is
quite different compared to the Decibel layout.
I spec and use them at many repeater sites... very
very nice units.
Enjoy...
