What changed on the tower

• 1. The top duel band antenna will be changed to a straight 2 meter high power.

• 2. The lower 40 meter whip will be removed, and a 10 meter put in its place.

• 3. Another wing will be added and a 6 Meter antenna will be added.

• 4. But I have no more coax feeds to the tower, for the new antenna.

Diplex Antennas • Remembering my days in the fire service

before the big change to P25, We use the two antenna to one radio, one control head.

• Two antennas cut to frequency with just the right amount of coax to a “T” and back to the radio.
