Re: [Repeater-Builder] Yagi's For Repeaters?

[Dave Baughn]

It will surely work. I would be careful to use good ones and pay particular attention to how the elements are mounted to the boom. Any poor connection could cause noise while duplexing.  Dave/kx4i PS I remember using one back in the 70s repeater wars. Worked great until the competition put on a couple of 4CX250Bs. They won.   Dave Baughn Director of Engineering The University of Alabama Center for Public Television and Radio Box 870150 Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487 205.348.8622 NEW EMAIL [EMAIL PROTECTED]  >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/27/04 10:57AM >>> We need to get VHF signals to and from an area about 40 miles south of us through a mountain valley.  For this particular repeater, that is the only area it will serve in addition to us locally.  Someone suggested using two stacked Yagi's pointed directly down the valley.  I've never seen Yagi's used in repeater service.  Will this scheme work?  Are there any pifalls to be aware of?  Any and all comments are welcome.
