They're just using a 3-way splitter instead of a true phasing harness. The reason for 3 antennas is to handle the power...1400W. -- Jim Barbour WD8CHL Yahoo!

Tony, What pair did you get? Is there a tone? Looking forward to hearing it on the air!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Advise: 6m Repeater Antenna
My friend just put a 3 element 6 meter antenna up, one loop on each face of a broadcast tower. I still have to figure out the strange phasing harness scheme. 73, Joe, K1ike At 07:54 PM 12/9/2005 -0500, you wrote: >Not that uncommon.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Advise: 6m Repeater Antenna
Not that uncommon. I'm running two elements on my 6-meter machine and would run more if I had a taller tower. A friend is running four elements on his repeater.

In fact, I have the whole thing; Mastr II repeater, WP-604-C duplexer and 250 feet of 7/8 inch hardline. I understand it worked well. YAHOO!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: Need Advise: 6m Repeater Antenna
I have a low band four folded dipole array. It doesn't have a legible label so I don't know what its number. Each element is 10 feet long. It was quite an antenna on the tower, it is quite a handful in my garage. I was under the impression a DB-212 is one element and I wondered if a DB 215 was four DB 212 elements. YAHOO!
