That's what I am thinking. The only other option would be two yagi's and a phasing harness or power divider. I don't want to lose receive! We have MSF 5000's and they are awesome on receive. The purpose of this is that we secured a second repeater site and we're working on three and four. All will be voted and simulcast. This repeater sits at 6,400 feet and covers all of the area of site 3 except up into the foothills below us (doughnut hole) where we provide coverage for SAR as well as hikers and such.
