Great antenna BUT needs to be modified for VHF use

Great antenna BUT radial antennas are tuned to UHF 440 and do nothing on VHF. We highly recommend replacing them with the radials that come with the Diamond CP22E if you want the performance you've come to expect from this VHF antenna. Call Diamond Customer Service to order a set (less than $15). Tests have confirmed this - Diamond used to feed this antenna with longer beams, but stopped for no reason! Strange.
