[Repeater-Builder] antennas for gmrs repeater

2007-12-20 Thread Jed Barton
Hey guys, Any opinions on an antenna for a gmrs repeater? It won't be going on a 300 foot tower, but it will be on the top of a hospital. I would rather not get a station master, but something that could withstand a little weather. Any ideas on the biggest bang for the buck? Thanks, Jed

My first recommendation would be a RF Systems PD1151, but since you don't want to spend the money for a Station Master, how about a Hustler Newtronics G6-450-3? You should be able to pick one of these up for under $200. Reportedly, they stand up to the weather pretty well. The first choice

Check out COMTELCO antennas, they are on the web at www.comtelcoantennas.com I have many of them in service with 100% results. They are equal in gain and performance to other more expensive antennas. I recommend the ones with 1.5 inch tubes, not the smaller 1inch tube models. Lance -

Directional or omnidirectional? If directional then how about a radome protected yagi? Very low profile. I have a couple of new/old stock six element Scala yagis in that band and in factory radomes. Very well made and very heavy duty. One of them is perfect for GMRS simplex or repeater output

Repeater Builders, I pose to you all a question. I have two UHF duplexers, both 4 cavity pass-reject. One is a Wacom (the ubiquitous 3U rackmount guy) and the other is from a Motorola MSR2000. I have really poor equipment, and don't necessarily trust manufacturer specs. Anybody have an
