2m/70cm Dualband Yagi Review | Antennas-Amplifiers  

I too have one of these and it is on an IC-9700 and it works very well. The aerial is good in high winds, it is built well and doesn't present too much metalwork to the elements (of nature). It appears to have two side lobes, particualrly on 2m, but I have found that they are useful (and don't detract from the main forwards lobe) when say in a 2m FT8 contest, you can still hunt the "dx" and see the other stations coming up on wsjtx. I would highly recommend.

Ohh that company was in my part of the world. I ordered one to try out. Thank you for the tip Hayden!

Thanks Hayden, this was a fun and informative video. FYI: It was also the first time I had seen your channel, well done and I look forwardto future videos.

Oops reviewed the video again and saw the website. Thanks video was very informative.

Another great video , thanks guys👍

Finally got mine up the other day. Bought it after I watched this video so a bit of a long "planing" time on it :-)

That's what I use, can hear more than I did with a 10 element Wisi on 2m and a 19 element F9FT on 70cm.

it looks solidly built. Not a bad price too. :)

Got mine one year ago directly from YU1CF. The only difference is that the boom is made of 2 pieces instead of 3 and it works flawless. Just pay attention not to break the plastic mounts by tightening the screws to much.

#TeamReplay for the win! Great video guys. #YTHF21

Hi Hayden, have you had much chance to abuse this antenna at all? I am looking at getting one for contesting. Cheers Gary, M7EGD.

I caught that in the intro. Yes, coconuts can migrate.

i am fixing to put up some sort of 2m 70cm ant an maybe a 6m tri band dimond Ground Plane (forgot the model) but i love beam's i have had a 70ft tower for most of my life & i have used several beams over the years an i got rid of every thing a fuw years ago (I ran a little repair shop for 20+ years as well ) but i dont want to go down that rabbit whole again so i say a good Ground plane 20-30ft tall and be happy..again im still doing my research as i want a good one !

Where can I pick this antenna up? I don't see a link to a site. Can you provide?

I have a small antenna-amp antenna it’s nicely made. Check the wiring it could be an impedance transformer not a choke PS I got my ratchet spanners at Aldi....Now point it north! 3IH

Thanks for the great video!

It's very likely that there is some interaction of the 2m elements on 70cms as well resulting in multiple lobes. That's the price of having 2m and 70cms on the same boom.

TV Antennas here have always been Dual Band Yagi's, now change that 75ohm into 50ohm cable, and keep and Directors, i have seen some 6 meter boom with 2 many elements to count

Would a coaxial BALUN have been better than the matching arrangement that is being used.

Great video, thanks

next time use a bigger table

What was the link, did I miss it

Nice..................

I hate nyloc. So slow to do up. I like the boom
