I am looking to replace the local 2m repeater antenna. I found the Antenex FG1443 at an attractive price on the Web and am looking for any experiences/opinions on it. I have been thinking about a Hustler G6-144B but I am willing to trade a bit of gain for a more rugged antenna that will remain noise-free for a long time.
One problem I face is that we have a limited mounting option on the grain elevator leg we are on so a lighter/smaller antenna is much preferable to a DB-224 style in our location. I can also get the FG1443 for about $150 which is quite attractive. http://www.antenex.com/c_search.asp?txtFunction=browse2&selFamily=FIO&txtSubFamily=VHF+3+dB+GAIN+MODELS Thoughts? 73, de Nate >> -- Wireless | Amateur Radio Station N0NB | Successfully Microsoft Amateur radio exams; ham radio; Linux info @ | free since January 1998. http://www.qsl.net/n0nb/ | "Debian, the choice of My Kawasaki KZ-650 SR @ | a GNU generation!" http://www.networksplus.net/n0nb/ | http://www.debian.org
