If you dont need maximim range on the uhf side I just put a vhf/uhf duplexer at
the transmitters and use the vhf antenna for uhf. Not very effecient but it
does work. Basically the uhf band is the third harmonic of the vhf band. I
use a 1/4 wave 2 meter antenna on my wifes car with her ic207h dualband radio
and it works good on both bands with low reflected power.

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] DB Products VHF & UHF on same mast?
I've got a DB-224 that is going up the tower in a
while when I get the hardline, but control issues
have changed from land line to 440mhz control.
So I need 2 antennas.
Today I saw a hybrid DB antenna, effectively a 224, plus
a 16 element DB, all on the same mast.
Is this something that can be done without having each
antenna interact with the other? Sounds like a good idea
to me.
Just curious,
Thanks,
Tim W5FN
