Hi Brian, 

Folded Dipole antennas are/were made by a number of different 
companies... and of course be prepared for a bit of sticker shock. 

You're probably talking about the popular Decibel Antennas... 
for a quick reference look see this information on my web 
page: 

http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic/so02202.html 

And the repeater builder web page has copies of the mentioned 
antenna drawings available for free download. 

* If you can't find a decent price... Email me direct for a 
quote. I'm starting to stock a modest number of different 
commercial antennas... or I can get them fairly fast.  

cheers, 
skipp

   Decibel Products got bought by Andrew Corp.
   Andrew got bought out by CommScope.
 
   www.andrew.com
   Also search for db224 that is probably the antenna you are
referring to.

   Hello all, maybe I'm misspelling the name of the company but I
can't seem to
   find the company who makes the Decibal Products type of antennas.
 
   They are the antennas that have the folded diploes that are very
popular on
   most amateur repeater sites.
 
   I always thought they were called DB products antennas, but maybe not.
 
   Can someone direct me to the correct site.
 
   Thanks a bunch.

Skip,

I have an older DB Products UHF dipole antenna. This one has six
dipole elements fed from two splitters so that three elements are on
each split. The main cable is RG8 moisture block, and each branch is
like RG58, not labeled.

The elements are made from what looks like angle aluminum stock.
Secured to the mast with cast brackets and Ideal hose clamps.

Any information? seems the dipoles are not in the correct spacing.

Optimum vertical spacing is between 0.85 and 0.95 wavelength as measured 
between element centers. This may or may not be possible due to constraints 
of the phasing harness, so you may have to settle for something else.
