Fred, I have heard they are not really good for depleting but I have used a knock off of a dual band antenna on my two repeaters when it was on my 60 foot tower at my house, it worked good enough but now on my commercial site I use the DB antennas. I only have 12 antennas up there right now, the tower was engineered for 42 DB folded dipole style antennas.
It would be interesting to test one at the 400 foot transmit platform if it were not so expensive to get them up there.

Fred, DB Products used to make, probably still do, a antenna just like you described. Just need a crossband coupler mounted at the antenna or two coaxes going to your equipment. Works well, don't use a cheap crossband coupler though. Buy a commercial grade one and you will be happy.

Dale, There is a whole list of options that I have rejected before deciding on combining antennas. Most having to do with keeping a low profile. It's kind of like the "been there done that" sort of thing. I really need commits on my original question.
