Maybe someone on the list has some experience to offer on the
issue described below. I've made the same inquiry with WiMo but no
response yet.

I have the antenna in the subject line (10 element cross pol for
2m) which I acquired in new condition from a fellow U.S. ham,
unassembled. All the packing seemed original and no parts seemed
to be missing. None of the plastic bags for the different parts
had been opened.
There are 8 pairs of elements, 2 each of specific lengths, which I
believe must be the directors; no problem there.

Then there are two folded dipole driven elements with integrated feedpoints and N female connectors, no problem there.

There are two more elements, each of a different length and
neither longer than the longest element in the
matched director pairs; one is 92cm & the other is 89cm long, and
both shorter than the driven elements. If these are intended to be
the reflectors, shouldn't they be the same length and longer than
the driven elements?
The folded dipole driven elements I received measure
94.3cm (37-1/8") & 94cm (37") end to end. I would think the
reflectors should be longer, but the only two elements remaining
to be installed are the two of different lengths and both shorter
than the driven elements AND shorter than the longer
directors...curious.
