Thanks. That’s another concern of mine with the HVT line towers being a lightning magnet. Arcing over to my tower

I’m wanting to put up a 35 foot tower with a Comet 712EFC on top of it using 1/2 inch hardline. Before I sink a bunch of money into it, I got High Voltage Transmission Lines on Towers within 150 foot of where I would erect my tower and antenna. Would it be a waste of money and time to even consider it from interference? I have several HT’s of different brands and it doesn’t affect any of them. Not sure though if a base would be a different story being that close to the HVT lines? Thanks for your opinions

Check your offsets. When you key up your transmit frequency should read 467.6250 your receive would be 462.6250 Everything should work if your in range of the repeater and your transmit tone is correct.

DC ground type antennas show continuity between center pin and shield as a J-Pole does. My question is what type of polyphaser is used on DC ground type antennas? DC Pass or DC Block? Also what type is a Comet CA-712EFC collinear? Are collinear antennas DC ground type? Confused on DC pass Vs DC block polyphasers. Forgive my ignorance, and thanks for your help
