DUAL 2m70DX57-2conn  (code 1394)

Best of the best 2m-70cm 57 element dual-band antenna 2m70DX57-2Conn. Exceptional gain on both 144 and 432 MHz for super weak contest or EME signals.

F/B and G/T superiority

All antennas have been calculated using state of the art full 3D Electromagnetic Simulation Software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns and connectors. The performance of antennas designed using these techniques are exceptional.

Before dispatch, we assemble each and every antenna and test antenna characteristics. That means you may expect exceptionally good electrical and mechanical characteristics including low SWR across the designed range immediately after assembling.

No need to move dipole, cut, tune or use rasp for any element to get perfect SWRon intended frequency range. Everything is pre tuned.

Another very important detail, When assembled and tested each antenna is complete with all washers, nuts, bolts guy rope supports etc. So When packing all parts are already on antenna without possibilities to forget important parts to put in the box. So you will always receive complete antenna.
