Outstanding performance in small footprint Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This 2 meter 4 element quad replaced a Cushcraft Yagi. I have been using this 2.5# antenna for more than 5 years, on and off after several moves. Its easy to assemble, handles 300 plus watts and has amazing directivity and front to back gain. Using between 5 to 10 watts I rag chew with a friend two towns to the north of my location on a dailey basis. This quad works just as well in the living room mounted on a camera tripod pointing north thru the windows but lots of complaints from the XYL so its now mounted 8 feet off the ground under the second story patio deck on a 2 1/2” PVC pipe purchased from a local box store. The PVC is attached to the deck support post with a bungee cord. Can’t wait to assemble their 440 quad which is even a smaller footprint. Antenna SWR is under 1.05 and gain appears to be the stated 9+dBi as noted in on the air testing. This is the perfect 2 meter antenna for hitting a distant repeater or point to point ragchewing and the low price makes it a no brainer to purchase.
