2m/70cm/23cm tribander base station antenna recommendation?

Matt Harrington
 

?
I'm in the market for a 2m/70cm/23cm base station antenna for use with an ID-1 and a 2m/440 mobile transceiver that I haven't picked out yet.? The Yaesu FTM-350 looks good though.
?
For an antennas, I see a Diamond X6000A:
?
?
I also see the GP-95 and GP-98 from Comet:
?
?
Any recommendations would be welcome, as well as pointers to other antennas I should consider.

I have had a GP 95 up for several years. Works fine. I prefer it to a GP 98 because it is a one piece antenna vs a two piece radiator for the GP 98. A fraction of a db less gain, but one less thing to go wrong.

I'll let others comment on antenna recommendations.

However since there is a lot of D-STAR activity on 2m & 70cm have you considered a D-STAR mobile like the ID-880H or IC-2820H?

I have considered those.? There appear to be?plenty of D-STAR repeaters here in the San Francisco Bay Area too.?For my car, I'll likely get either of those.? For my home, I was leaning towards the Yaesu FTM-350 because it doesn't need a fan, and I also have an ID-1 for D-STAR use at home.

The GP-95 also is much lighter than the GP-98.? Thanks for your thoughts.
