GREAT QUALITY! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Bough this for satellite use.

2 hours to construct.

Great Quality.

Works perfect.

Solid as a rock.

I also bought a M2 440MHZ for my satellite station.

I would buy M2 again!

Just Ok Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Unit construction is just Ok, not great but not horrible. A few highlights:

- One of my driven elements was shorted inside the block. I noticed it when installing the shorting blocks as one side was about 5mm too short.
- Instructions fail to differentiate between coax jumper lengths, might be very confusing to non experienced builders.
- The manual states that the spring clips are not necessary for field use, but many of mine were so loose they fell off during construction.
- Spring clips are non-adjustable once installed, you have to cut them if you messed up. Nylon retainers with set screws would be a huge improvement.
- Noticeable slop in the swaged boom connection points, makes a crook in the completed assembly.
