Well Built With Superior Performance Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I'm seldom surprised by an antenna product. Many times a company will over promise and under deliver. On this product, Sirio, promises AND delivers.

This antenna is built like a tank. The boom and elements are heavy duty anodized aluminum yet lightweight.

The antenna is designed to be used WITHOUT a gamma match. It is wide banded and covers the entire 2m band with a flat SWR in the sideband portion and a 1.2:1 in the repeater portion.

The four element yagi is built to be mounted vertically or horizontally. I tried both.

At 30 feet, at 100 watts output, I worked weak signal stations 200 miles away. Additionally, I could work repeaters about 105 miles away -- full quieting.

The total length of the end mounted boom is 63 inches with a total weight of 4.5 pounds.

No, it's not an 18 foot long 17 element Boomer; but, for a modest 2 meter antenna that can be turned with a TV rotor, it's excellent.

Two of these antennas can be stacked at 1.6 meters apart with a phasing harness or power divider for an additional 3db gain.

The real gain curve seems to peak at about 145 MHz at about 6 dbd.
