One other comment.
If at only 50 ft and this is where you plan staying for a while I would go with one of the Diamond or Comet longer dual banders. They do work...just not as rugged and lots cheaper than folded dipoles or RFS 220.
Normally I would not recommed this except you are low, antenna can be changed easily. The commercial antennas will last decades, but for what you have I would not be spending lots of money on this system.

We are in the very flat lands of Texas and our repeater is only up 50 feet (total of 530 above sea level). With 120 watt output. Which do you think would work better? A dual folded dipole antenna with low angle of radiation or a fiberglass vertical at 6db?
