Good evening all,
I have a G5500DC rotor in a ground mounted backyard patio setup that I love even when using my Arrow II antenna, but it's time to upgrade. I'm using mast mounted preamps.
I would like to upgrade to two separate VHF/UHF yagis after some Arrow II problems but don't know which ones to pick. Do I grab a few eBay Yagis? Arrow solid yagis? I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed and need some help please. DXE and HRO weren't much help when I asked.
The M2 LEO-Pack seems convenient, but I did a mock up on the size and it seems a bit too massive for my setup and limited sky view. I would also like to be able to disassemble fairly easily if I need to give up the back yard space for a party or something.
Can someone pretty please recommend: 1. VHF and UHF Yagi antennas that would be a good upgrade without being as massive as the LEO-Pack? I'm willing to accept some polarization fades if needed. 2. Mounting brackets to mount to the cross-boom. I've been using the Arrow M/BII square bracket and I'm sure that I'll need something else, but I'm not finding many options on DX Engineering or HRO. Is this not a common item?
Thanks for your time on this, I appreciate it.
