Only the user manual lets it down Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
This is my 2nd EANTENNA product. The 1st, a 30mtr rotary dipole reviewed on eHam, was terrible in terms of quality and support. So I am biased against this company. I decided to try this antenna because the shipping cost from WIMO in Germany was substantially less than my preferred choice from InnovAntennas.

The manual is poor. As already reported, DIN specs are useless and the pictures have to come to the rescue. The poor translation into English is diabolical. I found it made more sense to use Google Translate on the Spanish language instructions that also come with the antenna. What would it take for them to have an English speaker or dealer write up the manual? Not much, it is just plain laziness on their part.

The antenna is worthy of 5/5. There was one machining error, nothing serious. The quality is very good. I used it throughout the 2018 Es season and its on-air results were excellent.

Outstanding Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
Replaced my 3 ele. yagi with the EANTENNA 50LFA4 and was very pleased with the results. The 50LFA4 came with English and Spanish assembly instructions. it took me a little while to get used to the hardware descriptions referencing DIN specs but the parts lists has images and metric sizes of each part. The boom and the elements are pre-drilled and went together easily. Only measuring needed was final spacing of the loop element. 'Fit and finish' are excellent. Made the recommended RF choke balun from section of RG-58 I had on hand. On-air performance is excellent.

Great service and great quality from EANTENNA.
