Coy, X-500's are awesome, I have one on my repeater as a receive antenna and an X-50 as transmit (no duplexer, yea!) X-50's and 500's are frequently used as repeater antennas. I have a friend, K4HAT, who uses a bunch of them on a linked system on the Outer Banks of North Carolina where conditions are some of the harshest imaginable.
Good luck, Steve N3TEJ -----Original Message----- From: Coy Hilton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 16, 2004 10:45 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Spam:[Repeater-Builder] Re: Diamond X500 THANKS TO EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU WHO RESPONDED !! I know that the commertial antennas are better. But I was told by a local that this was one of the best antennas that I could use, and the money has been spent and the antenna is at the site, and must be used. Some of your suggestions and comments are still great and the ones that suggest ways of fixing the problem are being concidered. THANKS AGAIN! Further advice will be concidered and appreciated!
