Tim,    What type of location are you using? Is this antenna going on the side or top of a tower. You can get a DB224 EE  for 220. That would be my first choice.  Antenex ( now LAIRD ) has a 3 DB omni fiberglass antenna as does COMTELCO .  www.antenex.com FG2203

technically you can do anything -- look at Amsat -- 2m input, 10m output, 70cm input, 2m output.. in general -- the larger the split, the easier it is to prevent receiver desense. -- 600kc split on 2m is a royal pain to deal with :) Dave Gomberg wrote: > > At 11:39 9/30/2008, John Barrett wrot
