<div dir="ltr">The idea is to have an H frame dual polarity at the push of a button for vhf & uhf beams. Just to change the subject for a minute, if anyone knows who's selling heliax 5/8s or 1/2 inch at almost LMR 600 Prices on ebay let me know, I've heard of it, but only ran into it once. <br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 12:39 PM, David Garcia <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wb2rxf@gmail.com" target="_blank">wb2rxf@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">This one?

That's what Bob uses. He just took off the vertical elements. It's not the most optimized antenna in the world, but I think it might work better than an antenna made for satellite work.<br>
I did a search for it, but didn't come up with anything. You might be able to find something used on QRZ. It certainly would be less expensive than the M2<br>

I did a search on google, and a very few have an issue, but when it does<br>
happen its a "solder joint" or bad capacitors, I'm borrowing kc2dyys dual<br>
band base comet, and see how that works out, while I wait for the turn<br>
around time. Gonna do it asap before this arctic level cold snap sets in.<br>
Probably wed or thursday. I'm considering in the next few months to get M2s<br>
smallest circular polarized antenna 7ele, I called & asked if I could make<br>
it with a switch for vertical & horizontal use, he explained, all I need to<br>
do call and ask for 2nd driven element. It sounds good on paper, but was a<br>
nightmare when I did so with the 5element beam from K1FO. But I don't have<br>
the space to put 2 vertical and 2 horizontal, because I'd like to do the<br>
same with a 70cm circular polarized beam. Oh well I'll we'll see what<br>
happens when the time comes.<br>

Those are typically really good antennas. Sorry you got a bad one and had<br>
to go through all the trouble to re-pack it, etc.<br>

Good luck!<br>

They said send it in, they would do a thorough check up on the CX333, the<br>

swr is just to erratic. So many great reviews & I got the lemon. Keeping<br>
