I have an aging - but still in great structural shape - DB-304 8 bay VHF antenna with a bad wiring harness. I'm only showing continuity between the two next to the bottom elements. And, yes; I know it's DC grounded and removed the center conductors from each element before testing continuity to the center conductor of the N connector. Likely a lightning hit at some point in its life.
Any suggestions regarding how to replace the phasing harness since they are no longer available? I found a company in Canada who were willing to rebuild one for $350.00 plus me shipping the old one up there, as well as return shipping. The cost doesn't pass the sanity test. I know that it's relatively inexpensive compared to the antenna, but it's not something I can't come anywhere near affording.
And, I'm no genius with respect to using different impedances of coax and matching them in weatherproof splits.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
