Thank You all that replied,
I guess I will stop tomorrow morning and
order one to try on our Ocean City NJ
147.285 repeater. I will also have them
install it. 41 feet no wonder it has so much
gain!
Thank You again,
73 Russ, W3CH

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

Hello All,
Has any one used the Decibel
Products model DB-228?
I was thinking of replacing
my DB-224 on two meters
in Ocean City NJ with one.
I got a flyer two day in the mail
and it shows 9 DBd omni or 12 DBd
offset on two meters. WOW!
Hi Russ,
The DB-228 is one hell of an antenna. There is one in use locally on
the 145.210 KB3BLF machine north of Johnstown PA. It is located on
the top of a very large tower, and gives great coverage. It is set
to cardiod, and the null is set to protect the 145.210 WB8JGY
repeaters coverage area in St. Clairsville Ohio. It is expensive, but
worth every penny.
