very tight tolerances and cratmanship is excellent.good materials used,and very well designed. i would not hesitate to buy another arrow product.i end mounted mine with a homemade bracket from aluminum angle and stainless bolts, but the factory bracket would do fine.all in all its a winner.

"Simply the best" is how Arrow Antenna describes its products. It's absolutely true. Read any of the reviews for their antennas and you will see that people agree. This one is no exception. The stacked (2 antennas) version is reviewed on the site here too; this is the single antenna version. The quality of Arrow Antennas is phenomenal. The design is excellent too, they are superb performers. (I have others besides this one)
It's easy to assemble and the design is thoughtful as well. For instance, the SO-239 connector has the copper wire portion of the gamma match already attached - it's inside the boom. When you assemble it, you remove the SO-239, turn it 90 degrees and put the copper wire through the rubber grommet and reattach the SO-239 - now the copper wire is ready for the rest of the matching device assembly. Everything fits perfectly with tight clearances - but no bending or drilling things out, etc. is required.
The optional mounting bracket is a necessity, it's as good as the antenna itself - precision and built well. The antenna is lightweight and easily end-mounts; the bracket can also center mount it, and the antenna can be vertical or horizontal. It's another superb engineering and manufacturing job.
The performance is, of course, excellent.
You just can't go wrong with Arrow's antennas. Check out the web site to see how they are manufactured. Shipping direct from Arrow is really fast too. I just can't say enough good things about them - they are simply the best!
