[Antennas] Andrew DB230-C Antenna

[Chris Boone]

Eric,

I know of a DB-225 3db gain antenna on 48.08 MHz available...welll problem
is it is at 440 ft on a tower...but available (not used anymore)...no
lightning shot or any damage...last time I checked it last year it was still
perfect in SWR and TX/RX....
I don't think I have ever seen the DB230.....you MAY want to ask on the LMR
list (Land Mobile Radio)....since that's more LMR than ham antenna.

I need to replace a damaged 6m repeater antenna, and I would like to
purchase a new Andrew (Decibel Products) DB230-C antenna.  This is a
three-element Yagi antenna for the 46-50 MHz band.  It can be field-trimmed
for optimum performance at 6m.  Unfortunately,  It has been discontinued by
my favorite suppliers of commercial antennas, so I am hopeful of finding a
dealer that still has one in stock- a long shot, perhaps, but I have to
exhaust my search for a DB230-C before considering any other brands or
models- most of which are flimsy by comparison.

If you know of a dealer who has this brand and this exact model in stock,
please advise me directly at my call at verizon dot net.  Thanks!
