The RCC I worked for used two DB228's co-phased on our 500 foot tower at
480 feet for the VHF master recieve,handheld coverage to 32 miles! Had
my 2 meter recieve on it until the end,unbelieveable! Just above that
were two DB420's co-phased for the UHF master receive,also awesome! Both
were on 1 5/8 air heliax with mast mounted pre-amps. Above that was a
860mhz Bogner...well I could go on...and on. Miss the radio biz
badly.... 73,Lee,N3APP
