Description

*** If you are wondering which works better, the round or square element design. *** ((( They both work the same ))) On the air testing has shown no one can tell which antenna I'm using. Round or square. This listing is for a single (1) 2 meter (144-146 MHz) antenna. This is not your standard or light duty antenna sold by other manufactures. This antenna is designed, built and tested right here in the USA. No whimpy element or flimsy tuning here. Sleek, simple, built to last for years to come. Rover/mobile tested at or above highway speeds. Works great for VHF/UHF contests too. It's the perfect add on antenna for those who have high gain directional yagis. Save on rotator wear during vhf/uhf contests. Great for mounting on a rover/mobile or base station. Several are being used for beacons right now. This antenna can hear stations calling cq in all directions. Your directional yagi can't do that without constant turning. Designed for use on digital modes like FT4/FT8 as well as CW and SSB due to it being horizontal polarity. If you want an antenna for FM use, a vertical polarized antenna would be a better choice. Can be mounted on a mast pipe or mounted right to the side of your Rohn 25 tower. No tower offset required. ======================================================================================= Description: Model#------------------------- 2MLHD-SQ-SO Element:----------------------- 5/16 inch diameter 6061 aluminum solid rod Usable Frequency:-------- 144 to 146 MHz (adjustable) Bandwidth:-------------------- 2 MHz Directivity:--------------------- Omnidirectional Polarity:------------------------ Horizontal Impedance:------------------- 50 Ohms Tuning:------------------------- Gamma Match Power rating:----------------- 800 watts ssb single/1.5Kw ssb stacked pair Coax connection:------------ SO-239 Silver plated (female) Mounting Plate:--------------- 3/8 inch x 1 inch x 4 inch aluminum bar Mast Clamp:------------------- 1-1/2 inch zinc plated U-bolt type with aluminum saddle Minimum mounting height above ground: = 12 feet Stacking distance between two antennas: 65 inches (one above the other) Gain figures:--- 1 to 4 dBd --- Depends on height above ground/angle/obstructions/surroundings/etc. Fully assembled measurements:---- Square = 12" x 12".
