[Repeater-Builder] VHF Repeater Antenna Choice

Any comments on the difference between expected antenna patterns and coverage on a DB222 vs. Celwave/RFS PD220? I'm using a PD220 and find the local coverage to be somewhat spotty, but coverage 20 miles away to be excellent. Is this typical of the PD220? Would a DB222 fill local areas any

I have had great service out of an Antennex 5 dbd UHF fiberglass antenna. It is mounted near the top of a 2000' tower and has been up for maybe 8 years with no problem at all. It was to be a temporary replacement for a DB420 but since it is working,I just never got around to swapping them out.

Looking to replace our current VHF Comm. repeater antenna w/ a higher quality antenna. Orginally wanted the DB series 4bay dipole but not sure if our current install setup will hold such a beast! Another thought was using the Antenex series (YDA1504) on a lighter weight mast. Any pros/cons

Hello, I am looking to replace my high schools radio club repeater antenna setup. We are currently using a Ringo Ranger and I would like to upgrade to a four or six dipole array. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick up a dipole array {would prefer a used set in good condition}
