Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability
Thanks for the response Russ. I got an email stating that all DB-411's were out of production. I still see it listed on their website though. Is anyone using a 450 version on a ham repeater? My site is on the side of a hill so an omni would just dump half the power into the hill. I think the DB-411 looks ideal.

You can still buy the DB-411 (NEW) for 440-450. All so the DB-408 for 440 works very well if you do not need every thing going in one direction.

RE: [Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability
I belive in December 2003 DB stated that all of the ham cut antennas were to be dropped from the line. Not sure if it was VHF and UHF but I know for a fact UHF was. They may have worded it as all custom cut at the time. I bought several of them for a project and ended up with some extras. I believe I have a 224 left in ham cut. If anyone is interested e-mail me directly and we may be able to work something out. These are still in the box sealed, I also have a few commercial cut DB408's NIB. On UHF I have never cared if it was a 440 or 450 cut, they work just the same.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability
I just bought a DB-411 in April for one of our receiver sites (Voting) they still made it then. They drop things faster then I have time to keep up with. The good thing is Andrew is trying to sell DB as they did with the A/S mobile line. This could be a good thing if they (who ever buys DB) where to restore the complete line.

I seem to recall that was only for small orders, and larger orders (100 or more) were still being shipped. Joe M.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability
DB and the Ham cut. There new policy is you have to buy 50 of each antenna to get it in the Ham band. you can still get the DB-404,408 and 420 in the Ham band as long as the dealer you are dealing with is welling to buy 50 of each and sit on them till the next Ham buys one.. It is the same way on the two meter cut antennas from DB a well. Thank goodness there are still dealers out there that will still stock Ham cut antennas. Most of the real big guys have stopped. 73 Russ, W3CH - Original Message - From: Rich Garcia [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 8:04 AM Subject: RE: [Repeater-Builder] UHF ham band offset dipole array availability I belive in December 2003 DB stated that all of the ham cut antennas were to be dropped from the line.
