Ron,
Telewave makes the ANT 150 and 450 series antennas. We have mounted the UHF to
the back side 180deg from the VHF using schedule 80 2 1/2 od aluminum pipe. You
will want to top and bottom support the mast due to the length of it but works
really well. If you want to use a coupler get a TX/RX splitter and will last
years but you will need two of them if you plan to use one coax.

Hey Folks,
I have two repeaters here on two and 440.... Problem is I have to run one
antenna for both...so, dual band antennas work fine...problem is even the heavy
duty version (x510) of Diamond and the best Comet have failed... Am running 70
watts on two and 60 watts on 440.... In each case the capacitors fail.....am
tired of climbing up the tower.... Any ideas on a better dual band that will
not fail.. Pulling my hair out.
