Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

That's the same antenna I used when mobile, as well from my apartment after I had to give up driving (Placed it on a pizza pan on bar counter top.), bought it same day as licensed, still have it, now in storage in nephew's garage.. I'm now using an ICOM W-32A with a 5/8's 2 meter accessory

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

How 'bout a J-pole in the attic? Even though you don't particularly need UHF, a dual band J-pole would make you a little more future proof. The antenna does not require grounding but you can if mounted outside (peace of mind). Length from base to top of longest element is an inch shy of five feet.

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

Since 146.94 is pretty much in your back yard you can get away with most anything. If you want to stay somewhat stealthy take a look at the Ed Fong DBJ-1 runs $30 plus a 5 foot PVC pipe (that you paint black) I know several that have it mounted on the back of their TV sat dish. It is a dual

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

Well I think I have it narrowed down to two choices. The G6-270 or the G6-144B. The G6-270 is about 7.5' long is factory tuned with a 4MHz bandwidth. The G6-144B is almost 10' long and will need to be tuned. It has a 2MHz bandwidth. The G6-270 and the G6-144B both show a expected 6dbd gain.

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

GP6 is a great antenna, good quality and easy to assemble. Mine is at 35' and performs very well. Gus, KG5OFB On Aug 11, 2017 11:53 AM, "Paul Noll via BVARC" wrote: > How about the G6-144B, good antenna ? A little long though. > > Paul Noll > KG5MHD > Love your pets, they want

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

Even the Diamond X30 would do a good job. 4.5 foot tall with 3.0 on VHF and 5.5 on UHF. Just make sure your attic does not solar barrier inside it. Also just for fun where are you located and what repeaters do you plan on using? Dwayne KB5YTA Ps Even before the 34/94 refit that was done awhile

Re: [BVARC] 2 meter base antenna

The Hustler G6-270 is a good antenna but iirc the gain is dbi...2.15db higher than dbd... You must look and compare properly..the G6-270 is a base antenna not mobile...is better quality than the Comets or DiamondsI have used the Comets CX333 since I also run 220...wish Hustler made a triband
