Jeff, Chuck, Larry and John
Thanks for the responses. I new about DB making the U/V version but not about
the U/U or V/V version. I think I'll opt. for converting mine to U/U and
sacrifice a little gain, but maybe improve some of the lcoal coverage with
better tilt down characteristics from
The only way to use the lower harness and still salvage/save for later is to
put a dummy load on the connector where the top half of the antenna
connected. Kind of ruins the efficiency.

You should be able to utilize the lower section harness as well.

3. Taking an existing DB420 antenna and feeding the upper and lower
halves with separate feedlines to make 2-6 Db antennas on the same
mast. The lower harness section would be

I'm running out of antenna mounting positions at my site. Has anyone
1. Mounting the dipoles and harness from a UHF DB420 on the same mast
as a VHF DB224, or vice versa. (UHF and VHF antennas on the same
mast)
There will be a lot of interaction between the two. I wouldn't do this.
You'd also likely need extra filtering on the ground between the VHF and UHF
How do you suggest terminating the connector that normally connects to the top
half. Just seal it water tight ?

Thanks Jeff. OK, idea 1. and 2. are basically shot down in flames. Idea 3. I
can handle. Again the question, if I use the original harness how do I
terminate the connector where the lower section joined the upper. Just weather
proof it ??
