If you have a VHF 224 just take a DB411 UHF and mount on the opposite side
of the mast 180deg from the VHF loops. We do it all the time out here and
works great. Just run two coax cables and all is nice and neat. Best of both
worlds, you get two antennas on the same mast without using another 10
Many of these connectors show up at hamfests with no instructions,
sometimes with very vague identification markings. I was just wondering
if anyone had a simpler way to get the information than browsing many
sites looking for information.

My advice is to stick with a name-brand connector. Then you don't need to
worry about any differences or quality issues.

I agree with Joe. I've been successfully buying and selling at Hamfests for
years. It always seems that the lids and ticket holders have worst luck
with their impulse buying. IMHO. *Real *Hams know the score.

Hi Mike,
It looks like this antenna is a DB-420B. It has 16 elements
in groups of 2... 4 groups on the top 'half', and 4 on the
bottom.
I was thinking of using only 1 run of hardline up the tower
putting a duplexer up at the top (and one at the bottom).

Tim,
If you're just using it for control, you only need to receive on uhf. Just
put up the 224 for the duplex vhf on the one feed line. Downstairs use a
diplexer to pull off your uhf control receiver signal. It should work fine
at that location. We used to have a short link path to a site like

Would anyone care to comment on and compare the tools offered by both

Not cheap, but not the several hundred dollars either as quoted by

I'd like that information also. I know that some of the more technically
proficient hams out there who do RF design / installation for a living use
crimp only connectors, and swear by them. Are there other vendors out there
that people have used which are comparable to the major players?
I use Paladin. Seems to be a popular brand.

Is your control a receive only, or is it a UHF control repeater?
I've seen a 2m antenna used to feed both a 2m receiver and
a UHF receiver. After all, the third harmonic of 147 MHz is
441 mhz.
