Re: [Repeater-Builder] D B Products 224 Vhf antenna Question

[Russ]

I had a DB-224 cut for 151.955 from a local school district on 147.315 for many years. It worked just fine. I replaced it about a year ago with a new DB-224 cut by the factory and it does not work any better then the one cut for 151.955. I could have saved a few bucks and left well enough a lone. The bottom line is it should work just fine if you do not go to far down the band. At 147.315 the SWR was flat and looked good on the site master.

They are on 151.XXX now. My question is, has anyone out there used this antenna, [10mhz spread, 150-160 MHz] on their repeaters?  A new one on the ham band will cost $499 plus shipping plus brackets. I would like to use the ones I have, if possible. Let me know if any of you guys have used them, and do they work OK  thanks, Mike KD4HLH   Michael C. Johnson KD4HLH Yahoo!
