D1-2m, D2-2m, D4-2 are the series of legendary Pistolkors loop dipoles, designed specially for a two-meter amateur band of 144-146 MHz.
If we look at match frequency characteristics of its predecessor for commercial communications in the range of 160 MHz, we can hardly call it "operable" for amateur frequencies. Radio amateurs are very demanding and pedantic persons. Therefore, in order to satisfy their needs, we had to change the size of the antenna and matching transformers. Thus, the first single dipole was created, and later the double, and quadruple antenna arrays.
Due to new antennas with the duplexer DPRE4-6-2m we can now create the ideal repeaters.
