dipole?
****
Would a gamma matched dipole be dc grounded?
I would put the folded dipole up.

2) What is the best way to orient the antennas on the tower?
***
I would put up a DB 228. As to the way to put it on the tower?
Just as DB says to! Go to ther web sit an look an see what fills
your needs.

( > 3) Has anyone had any experience with the Maxrad 4 element
dipole
array? Or would it perform like the old cushcraft 4 element
dipole?
All comments welcome!
**
I would'en use a fiberglas ant. of any typ to duplex on.
They just don't work as well in duplex as do folded dipoles.
An I know of a lot of repeaters useing fiberglas ant's but the folded
dipole
well work better in duplex.
As I'am new to the list I don't know what most of you use or like.
This is just what I'ev found to be true in the repeaters I'ev been around.
Research is a lot cheaper than replacement!
