Aside from the poor quality feed line (coax cable) the Antenex FG
series antnnas SUCK big time, especially in duplex operation.
The FG series antennas are nothing but a 18 gauge copper coated steel
wire with a few 'curlie cues' hidden in a plastic pipe.
Monty and I did some tests a couple years ago on the Antenex FG's,
they ALL sucked.
Use a REAL antenna designed as a repeater/duplex antenna. The
Comtelco and Telewave antennas are designed from the ground up to be
used in repeater/duplex service.
The Comtelco BSL150XL3-x series are not that much more than the
Antenex FG, and use large solid copper alloy elements.
The best is the Telewave Blue broad band VHF base antenna, ANT140F2,
but they cost three times as much. $600
