Doug, what were the State Police using for mobile radios back when you were involved? I'm finding that the newer, wider front end, radios don't hear as well as the old 0.5-1 MHz wide receivers did. I can hit my 6-meter repeater full quieting, yet sometimes can hardly hear it due to mobile environment noise that you can't avoid driving past (computers, LAN equipment, etc., etc.)

The manual on Repeater Builder http://www.repeater-builder.com/db/pdfs/db-212-assembly-and-mounting-instructions-(andrew).pdf shows the feeds from all three elements coming together, but doesn’t give a hint as to the length or impedance of each leg. If the original harness was retained, he should be able to reverse engineer it or shorten it if it’s still in good shape. I’ve got a DB212-1 sitting beside the house now to use on our clubhouse tower for a 6m PropNet beacon antenna.
