well I have been using DB 420 for years and they are about the best you can get. mount your mount for the wind load for your $500 and you will be better off. Also I don't think 1/2 the 420 would work like it is make.

This repeater will be at my residence and the antenna will be mounted on a 5-foot tripod on the roof. I have a DB-420 and was successful in getting it mounted, but I felt it was just slightly too heavy. I was afraid it would come down in a strong wind. Can I use just the top section of the DB-420 without changing the phasing harness? If not, can someone please suggest a decent antenna? Antenna tripod mount is at about the 40-foot level and height really does not matter. I have a $500 antenna budget.
