Review Summary For : Innovantennas 5 element 144MHz LFA Yagi
Reviews: 1MSRP: £89.95
Description:
A 5 element 144-146MHz low-noise LFA Yagi The G0KSC LFA Yagi is a major step forward in the development of the Yagi Antenna, it provides a low-noise front-end for your radio so you hear more weak signals. This compact 5 element 144Mhz LFA provides stunning performance across the whole 2M band (144-146MHz Specify if you require a different frequency range). Hard to beat with a direct 50 Ohm feed point and no matching losses!! The LFA loop along with the great pattern helps to reduce noise and ensure the best user experience with the weakest signals being heard not lost in noise. Designed with the very latest modelling software packages costing 10's of thousands of pounds, not 30 year old software costing around $100.00!! Accuracy in model and real-world performance assured. Our antennas are constructed with the best quality materials in order that the best mechanical construction can be achieved, not the cheapest and most profitable! Even a digital caliper is used (with an accuracy of .01mm) to measure the elements during production to ensure they are within 0.2mm of what they should be, ensuring they work as well as our software model predicts. Marine grade Stainless Steel Fittings Original Stauff Insulation clamps Mill finished boom and elements for highest levels of accuracy For more information Email here Performance Gain: 11.16dBi @ 145MHz F/B: 19.59dB @ 145MHz Peak Gain: 11.18dBi Gain 10m above ground: 16.93dBi Peak F/B: 20.32dB Power Rating: 5kw SWR: Below 1.4.1 from 144MHz to 146MHz Boom Length: 1.789m

Well built, great performance and great value Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I've have my 5 element LFA Yagi for a few years now and it performs extremely well for such a compact antenna.

Assembly is simple with clear instructions and Justin (the owner of Innovantennas) only a phone call away if you get stuck. It's REALLY important to keep the wire at the feed-point as short as possible or the antenna won't tune. The instructions are clear about this.

Build quality is spot-on. Great quality components which after a couple of years 50' up on the chimney show no signs of ageing.

On those occasions I've needed to contact the company for advice the customer service is superb. This family run business really knows how to keep its customers happy.

If I ever need to replace this antenna then I would buy another Innovantennas product in a heartbeat.
