[amsat-bb] Experience with M2 436CP42UG

Hi,

Are there people using the M2 436CP42UG for satellite operation? If so, could you share some experience whit this Antenna?

I have bought a used one but am unable to get it aligned in the right way so that SWR is expectable. From the manual I get the length of the dipole at 4.375 inch thats 11.1cm but it isn't working in my setup and changing it in steps of 1mm doesn't bring me to the right SWR.

In some places the impedance is so bad that the radio disables power output.

Thanks in advance
