Diamond VX-30, VX-50 and VX-4000 Antenna - VHF-UHF Antennas for Ham Radio 

Well there’s one G3 watching your videos Peter. Have used the Diamond X series of antennas for years and have been very satisfied with them.

I use an X30 in southern California with great results.

Very nice new intro you've done Peter, Thanks

The cross polarisation loss is about 20dB. Your results suggest a bit of slant polarisation was happening.

I have the X30A and the X300-A...both perform great! I do think I will sell my X30A and buy the VX30 because it will be much easier to transport without the radials

I'm thinking of getting the x50. Didn't know about the vx50. In your opinion would the radials give a better performance than non radials

Is there really no trade-off compared to the brothers with radials? Why would they ever attach radials in the first place? There must be something wrong in the design?

Not sure what the X stands for, but the X-30 has radials - so might be the V might means no radials?..

What size u bolts come with it ? Will it mount to a 1 1/4 or 1 1/2 mast

The X series has radials, the VX doesn’t
