RE: [Repeater-Builder] Help in locating a DB-408 for the ham band

[Paul Finch]

I have always used the DB-410 in the commercial band and have had great luck
with them.  Don't worry unless you are a lot lower than 440 in frequency.

As per recommendations on this group I have settled on a DB-408 for
my new UHF repeater project. My problem is I keep running into dead
ends in locating one, new or used, to buy cut for the ham band. I
talked to Andrews to see if I could persuade them to build me a one-
off for 440 but hey wouldn't. Can anyone help me out before I have to
settle for a stick antenna? I have also looked at the Maxrad open
dipole model which I can get for 440, but it seems like a bad deal,
its as much as a DB-408 new. The Sinclair is just too much $$ for th
budget. I want to get this project done before it gets really cold
here in Chicago. Please feel free to contact me off the list with any
info you may have.

Have you contacted the major distributors? (Tessco, Hutton, Etc.)

You can also look at Telewave. They make one similar to Sinclair, but less
expensive.

However, I have yet to see one of the Decibel 450-460 versions that didn't
work just fine in the ham band. I'm running that band split and my repeater
is on 442.75. No problem at all.
