Hi Jeff, Come on now... me fight anyone over an opion? :-)
Actually I really like Sinclair Products... what I didn't enjoy was the end result of a large Antenna Project using the 4-Bay 138-174 systems, which were a technical and financial train wreck. Sinclair has since updated that Antenna Model. What they didn't do was help us resolve the problems with the antennas we already had. I/we were blown off numerous times by Sinclair's Tech Support. So my fire and brimestone toward Sinclair is over their lack of support and follow up over that event. I've also had and heard a number of war stories about issues internal to Sinclair since they changed control/management/ownership. I like and buy every Sinclair Antenna I can get my hands on (thank you Robin) when they pop up surplus. They tend to be very pricey so I don't buy a lot of them brand new... Those of you enjoying the folded dipole antenna style should take note about the world of difference between the Decibel (narrow band) versus the Sinclair (wide band) feed designs. And of course the wide/narrow band designs can be found cloned by other mfgrs. There is a case to stay with narrow band Decibel type folded dipoles and another case for the much wider band Sinclair style folded arrays. Just depends on what antenna bandwidth fits your application. So we agree... the Sinclair folded dipole antennas would be another great choice/option. Got any for sale...? :-) cheers, s. > "Jeff DePolo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Knowing full well that Skipp may fight me on this recommendation, > I'd lean toward a Sinclair SD214 or SD218 (big mama) dipole array. > They're available in a split that covers 220. > --- Jeff WN3A > > > After spending so much time chasing the DB-224JJ information down > > I'd probably buy and use something else, which I have done.
