Jed,
Be careful how you use the term "stationmaster," since there are many
different models and variations.
An RFS/Celwave "Stationmaster II" antenna, model PD201-7, is a good
choice. It has 5.0 dBd omni gain, and costs about $370 from TESSCO.
Another good choice is a Decibel Products DB408B with 6.6 dBd omni gain,
about $360 from TESSCO. If your repeater is not in the center of your
desired coverage area, you may consider a Yagi or corner reflector for
an offset pattern.
If you use 1/2" Heliax transmission line between your duplexer and the
antenna, or 7/8" Heliax if the run is more than 50 feet, you will
probably have good performance and range.
