I've never seen a 146/220/440 antenna that I would feel comfortable putting
into repeater service.
I have used a Comet GP-15 on 146 MHz
Found some, thanks.

I use the Comet CX-333 on a 220 repeater; works quite well. Don't
currently use the other bands on that antenna.

Some paging service got the eqpt. removed when they filed for Chapter
11 by one site weather if the one company decided to park their gear
outside the fence maybe for obvious reasons. Don't ask me who.

Occasionally you will find an old stock one at radio shack... but
they are not of good quality. Icom makes a very nice unit, as does
diamond.. but they cost more. The icom unit is by far the best of
the trio.

Check with any tower owners in your area. Many have old paging antennas
that were abandoned in place. I received mine free that way.

As someone else suggested, contact a paging company. Just be sure to test it,
as some were used in combined transmitter situations and may have had 1000+
watts applied to them. Lightning damaged was also a problem. With paging
companies folding and downsizing, you may even be able to find a

John,
Did you notice that these are rated for 50W max?? They are also described as "access point" antennas - I assume that they are referring to computer-type WAN or something similar. Bandwidth is probably acceptable, but power handling would bemy big question...
