If either takes a lightning strike the fiberglass will explode. I have had
that happen with both.
Check into Tram antennas. they seem electrically and mechanically similar to
the diamond but are a lot cheaper!

Goodafternoon,
Me and a friend are putting up a secondary VHF repeater and have a
antenna question. Being we are on a budget but have looked at these 2
antennas as options.
Diamond F22A monoband base or the Husler G6-144B
Any pros or cons to these antennas and which would you choose or you
have another option?
Antenna will be mounted between 30-40' on multiuse rohn 45 tower fed
with LMR-400 and subjected to typical Northeast USA weather "North of
NYC". Ofcourse if money wasn't an issue, I would prompt for a more
durible antenna specifically suited for repeater use. We need to keep
antenna size down to less then 10' in length and cost down as well.
My choice was the Diamond F22A. It apears similiar in size and
construction to the X-200 dual band and I have not had any issues
with my current intallation. Any comments or suggestions???
