Review on πŸ“‘ Dual Band Outdoor Yagi Antenna, 2M 70CM VHF UHF 9.5/11.5dBi Directional Yagi 8 Elements 3 Sections for Amateur 2 Way Radio, Repeater System, 433MHz Device, Police Scanner by Tina Carrell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good materials, questionable attachment of elements, SWR needs to be checked before transfer

Aluminum boom and elements should be strong but light. Each element is fixed by you with a small conical screw. This seemed to keep the elements in my build fairly tight, but I'm concerned that the wind and weather will loosen them over time. After assembly, the SWR for 2m and 70cm was far from the same. I spent over 45 minutes working on the setup and was only able to tune both bands by adding short extensions to the 70cm fixed drive units as shown in my drawings.

Pros
  • Antennas
Cons
  • Crumpled
