Hi guys.. This is a good thread.. I've been wondering about the decibel UHF harness for a long time. SO.. If I'm reading Chuck right, the DB UHF elements are 100 ohms.. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean I could pull 2 of the elements off a DB408 and make a DB404 by simply connecting the elements by equal lengths of some good 50 ohm coax to a T, and attach a 50 ohm feedline to the T??
Can this be? Tell me if this will work guys..

They are 50-ohms.
