[Repeater-Builder] 6 M Gain Antenna
Does anyone have a suggestion for a good 6m repeater antenna from some one that is still able to supply one? All I can seem to find is unity gain antennae. Looking to put a 6M repeater back on the air as soon as we can get antennae for a split site. We will be running RCA radios. Walter, KA2RGI Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6 M Gain Antenna
Hi have you considered maybe a tri band ant, ie 2,70cm and 6mtrs. Gain on 6mtrs is about 3dB. Here in the UK I use a Moonraker tri band, works fine 73 Steve M1SWB - Original Message - From: Walter Wenzel [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 5:59 PM Subject: [Repeater-Builder] 6 M Gain Antenna Does anyone have a suggestion for a good 6m repeater antenna from some one that is still able to supply one?

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6 M Gain Antenna
Beware, all the antenna adverts I see in the UK mags quote dBi !!! 3dBi gain over a dipole is not worth mentioning! When you consider that the folded dipoles I have on my repeater are almost 8 feet long, compare that with your tribander - you aint gonna get any gain without the extra length IMHO.

And the dBi means that it is referenced to an isotropic source, where GOOD manufacturers reference a dipole. 3dBi is less then 1dBd (dB gain over a dipole). So that 3dB antenna is about the same as a regular dipole. That's the short answer anyway. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] 6 M Gain Antenna
Hi guys With all this talk about 6m antennas, can I mention that I have a pair of Sinclair SRL-110 dipoles to dispose of. They were used in a commercial system at 48/49 MHz. I have not tested them at 52/53 MHz but the SRL-x10 series antennas are usually quite broadband. The catch is that they are large and I don't want to ship them anywhere. So pick-up only - near Montreal, Quebec. If interested, contact me off-list. Burt VE2BMQ Yahoo!

Decibel Products or Sinclair. Serious antennas. Folded dipoles - but you'll need some tower.
