Our simple VHF Retro Fit Kit may well do the job. It's a dipole that's tuned to 195 MHz (ch 10) and there's very, very little drop off in performance on channel 8. If not, you will need to step up to a more directional array of elements to get better reception of a single VHF channel. An additional resource for designing your own is at http://www.k7mem.com/Electronic_Note.../yagi_vhf.html Otherwise, there are commercially available high-VHF antennas such as our ClearStream 5 that would be expected to do the job.
Thanks, that might work for me, ...if they would only just provide me a simple drawing that I can interpret and build from. I'm a builder not an engineer.
