Comtelco makes a REAL dual band antenna, rugged, and great quality. Costs about 300.00. For a diplexor that will handle the power and not kill off the weak signals, the only choice is TXRX Systems, they make both tower mount and base mount units,super quality, Wew have used several of them on public safety installations. lance N2HBA ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles Lowery To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, November 05, 2007 3:41 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Advice on repeater relocation
Let me start by saying that I have been around ham repeaters for a long time but I have not set one up this way. I have been given the opportunity to use a 220 foot tower near the high school radio club's location. We are being allowed to mount one antenna at the top and use of the building at the base. We have two repeaters one on 145.35 and one on 444.625 that will need to use one antenna. I need advice on the antenna choice and diplexor for the setup. I know this may not be the best solution but it is what we are allowed. We have 300' of new andrews 1/2" hardline and new connectors and hardware donated by a former student of mine. Any advice would be appreciated. Charles Lowery, NM4V
