I belive in December 2003 DB stated that all of the "ham cut" antennas were to be dropped from the line. Not sure if it was VHF and UHF but I know for a fact UHF was. They may have worded it as all "custom cut" at the time.
I bought several of them for a project and ended up with some extras. I believe I have a 224 left in "ham cut". If anyone is interested e-mail me directly and we may be able to work something out. These are still in the box sealed, I also have a few commercial cut DB408's NIB. On UHF I have never cared if it was a 440 or 450 cut, they work just the same.

I got an email stating that all DB-411's were out of production. I still see it listed on their website though. Is anyone using a 450 version on a ham repeater? My site is on the side of a hill so an omni would just dump half the power into the hill. I think the DB-411 looks ideal.
