UPDATE----
Thank you guys for your suggestions. I went out to the site today, and as a
temporary solution, I switched the transmitter antenna (DB413) from the top at
250 ft with the receiver antenna (DB408) at 180 ft. So now my system is
transmitting from the DB408 and receiving with the DB413 (That I goofed up by
rearranging the loops)
This thing is like a whole new system again, I have great talk out from the
DB408 and the talk in is sufficient for now, but I suddenly have coverage where
I didn't before. I even have coverage with the reception on the DB413, where I
had nothing at all when it was transmitting out. That is a little strange, but
that is what makes this a fun hobby.
Thanks again for all the input. By the way, anybody know of a DB420 for sale or
trade?

Just put into service a DB413 antenna for the repeater transmitter atop
the tower at 250 feet. I re-arranged the dipoles trying to get a more
omni-radiation pattern, but now it seems that the output power is down.
Is there a "CORRECT" way to re-arrange the dipole loops?
I took the top two at 0 degrees, the next two down at 90 degrees, the
next two at 180 degrees, and the last two at 270 degrees.
Was this the best way to make this an omni antenna, or is there a
better way to operate this antenna? Maybe I should have left it the
way it was?
