My experience with MANY Stationmaster type antennas for VHF is that they develop duplex noise problems. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get the dipole type antenna. As a bonus, the dipole type has a full 6.0 dB gain, and not just 4.5 dB as the 2M Stationmaster does. They have to derate it since the elements are too long to fit in the standard radome.
