RE: [Repeater-Builder] DB Product 4 Bay Antenna
Don, I'd think it's broadbanded enough to be able to work well at 444. The antenna I have on my 444.5500 repeater (although supposedly tuned to the ham band) is actually a 450 - 470 MHz, 4-bay dipole itself. and it does VERY well, even with the modified phasing harness.

I also have a G-6 that was hit By Lightning that I could Repair. But in the Rafters of the garage I found a Ant I must of bought a long time ago at a Hamfest it is a DB Product TDE-7260 4 Bay 450-470 Mhz My question would the DB Product which of course is made very well , Perform as well or betters then the 2 Above at the same Height, Coax and SWR , I did look around in the Group Messages and found info on the 2 Meter DB Brand but not the 440 Thanks Don KA9QJG
RE: [Repeater-Builder] DB Product 4 Bay Antenna
Don, TDE-7260 looks like a Motorola part number, probably assigned to an off-the-shelf antenna from DB, maybe a DB404 or DB411. If so then it should work fine down to 444Mhz with little or no adjustment. Gary R.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] DB Product 4 Bay Antenna
Hey N9EX here I have one of those on my repeater don't have the model number ,I got mine used. the 4 bay is 6db gain, and dc grounded so lighting is not suppose to hurt the antenna. mine works great Jack N9ex In a message dated 8/11/2008 7:00:50 P.M.
