Super antenna Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I've had my antenna up (30 ft) for about two months and I am very pleased with it's performance. I hear stations that my friends can't hear at all. I hear many more repeaters and at a greater distance than before. The VSWR is very low and the measurements in the instruction sheet are very close to perfect. The antenna was easy to assemble and it weighs only a few pounds. Material quality is tops as it is with other Cushcraft antennas I have (13B2 x 2). I recommend this antenna to everyone and if I need another 2 meter omni I will surely purchase another ARX-2B.

Just last week a friend had the same antenna and was getting poor preformance from it. He had tried to adjust it every way he could think including varying the length, hairpin etc. with no luck. I checked it with my ant bridge and found the antenna wasn't getting power as his coax was faulty. We replaced the coax and remeasured the antenna to specs in the instructions and after setting the VSWR, it is performing very well (as was expected) and he is now satisfied with it's operation.
