Get a duplexer and go with the DB408 at the top...don't use LMR cable...get 1/2 in or bigger HELIAX...
Later you could install a remote HF radio to the UHF rptr since you are in a HOA ...would require an external controller like a RLC which can handle many serial controlled radios...I use Kenwood's myself..

By removing the tip on the DB-408, and putting the Ringo on, you are decreasing the lightning protection.?? Also, by putting the ringo on, you are also inviting lightning.?? I would instead, just install the 408 and be done with it.?? If you want to see the coverage, you can set up an account at and model there for free.

Yes, 440 will be our first choice on frequency allocation.
