+Overlin Alaniz I'm using the Diamond version of this antenna antenna to Receive/Transmit 6 Meters, 2 Meters, 220 MHz & 440 MHz via some mobile duplexers/triplexers.

Some parting tips, one, check out MrPete222's video on the subject. When
parting you can't baby it, feed away! DO NOT back off, that is when you

One step beyond is to set up an Echolink /L simplex system using the
simplest of interfaces. You can use DTMF on the remote handheld to connect
to the test server. It will play back your transmissions and you can
record the tests on a separate computer using the same VOX setup you
suggest. Love your videos OM! Got the 817 now I just need to decide what
antenna to try first.

+joblessalex Not really. All you need to get on Echolink is a computer, rtadio and a simple sound card interface. Tons of plans ou there for those. What he has is almost a basic repeater controller And a very good one!
