Great Antenna for 2M
|
Time owned: 0 to 3 months
|
I had a third party X510 type antenna,which due to high winds was damaged beyond repair,so i was in the market for a new antenna,and decided to get a real Diamond antenna this time.
and it has paid off big time,this antenna,is really up and running in minutes,all elements are premarked,you just line up and go,it should be mounted on a non metalic pole,and what better than my broken X510 copy (bottom section)the antenna also comes with a small coil of sealing tape for the PL plug,as i had misplaced mine,a nice touch.
up and running the antenna works very well with low SWR,across the band, good gain,and nice reports from contacts,within a few hours use.
the only slight grumble would be the instructions are in japan format only,but there are very clear diagrams on the instruction sheet
