Along the same lines, if you separate VHF & UHF on the remote base radio you can use separate antennas, which lets you place the UHF much higher on the tower. In fact, if you're still using a GP9 for your repeater antenna you can split that off & use the UHF side for your remote base. Kind of doing that in reverse here (2 meter remote base TX combined with 440 repeater output TX).
