Thanks... I have never heard of Kreco antennas. We put a DB-201 up this evening and the repeater is working just great! The diamond is gonna have to come down for an autopsy... I don't understand why the sitemaster was showing I had a good antenna when it clearly was not radiating anywhere useful. 73 Norm

They have a 6-m coaxial dipole that should perform as well as or slightly better into the valleys than the j-pole antenna. You have two options the CO-41A or the CO-41H, depending upon your bank account and the weather severity of your site. The shunt feed keeps away static on receive, and lightning away from your equipment. I’m not affiliated with Kreco in any way. Regards, Dan at K7MM, VU3MMW
