I am not sure if things had to be tuned slightly different or not. I saw one many years ago and I don't remember the details of it.
You might give the DB group a call if they still exist. Sinclair made some antennas like that on special order too. They did some just stacked one complete antenna above the other on the same mast and some that were interlaced. You might try them and see if you can find out if anything special has to be done. Get to one of the engineers if you can. I don't know who is there anymore. 73 Gary K4FMX _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Flowers Sent: Monday, February 12, 2007 9:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [SPAM] RE: [Repeater-Builder] Combining antennas. That is my understanding, however DB products have been bought out & I think the whole line will be or has been discontinued. I'm wondering it they just stuck both antennas on a mast & shipped it? Or did they have to do some tweaks?

I am not sure it included those particular antennas but at one time you could order a combination VHF/UHF antenna from DB that included two antennas on the same mast. 73 Gary K4FMX _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fred Flowers Sent: Sunday, February 11, 2007 12:27 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Combining antennas. Has anyone tried to combine DB224E & DB408 on the same mast? We have one free space on a nice tower with a good location. The 2 meter antenna on the tower needs replacing. I would like to install a 440 repeater. I have both antennas & would like to find a way to get the max use of the location. If anyone has done this, did you use two feed lines or a combiner to one feed line? I'd like to hear anyone's thoughts on this. Fred N4GER
