No worries. They have an SUV roof. Vertical and horizontal distance with be significantly different, with vertical being smaller. You should look onto a mobile duplexer. They are relatively cheap. Michael -Original Message- From: DCFluX dcf...@gmail.com Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2009 16:18:32

About 30 feet vertical, depending on filtering and the antennas. You'd probably be better going on UHF with a mobile notch duplexer.

Two antennas on 2-meter isn't exactly doable, the vertical and horizontal spacing issues would make it prohibitively undoable for a mobile repeater platform. You might find a mobile duplexer with 1.2mhz spacing (I remember someone here on RB talking about such a unit some time ago), but like

Because the spacing between antennas is minimal at 440 and 900 megs and you can buy a duplexor for roughly the same cost as a good mobile antenna. If you want this to be an easy set up 44O is the way to go. Might also want to look for some used 2 meter stuff with duplexors ready to go. The

Peter, The only viable solution for a portable repeater on 2m is to use two widely-spaced frequencies, low power, and a compact base-station duplexer. Here in Central and Southern California, TASMA has wisely set aside two frequencies (144.930 input and 147.585 output) exclusively for temporary

Multi band antennas with certain types of problems can and sometimes do change radiation angle. And those problems don't necessarily give a bad SWR reading. In the case of the original (first production run) Hustler G6-370R there were design to actual production changes, which ruined the
