Does anyone know the screw size/threads used for the elements on the dual band Arrow Antenna?
I have some that are a little bent and want to start looking for replacements and maybe buy some spares as well.
Thanks. Don WS4E
They look like 8-32

If I recall correctly they are the same size as a camera tripod.. so they would be a 1/4-20

The hole in the boom under the grip is 1/4-20, but element threads are different.

My arrow antenna is over 10 years old and several are bent as well. I wonder if it's worth it to get new ones? Does a little bend affect the performance that much? On Aug 5, 2015 12:05 PM, "Diane Bruce" db@db.net wrote:

It's a bit of threaded rod in the end of an actual arrow (at least that's how the original article did it). You'd have a hard time rethreading the threaded rod and, I'm not sure you could easily remove the rod either to re-insert.

A little bend isn't going to be a big deal.

Ahh yes, my mistake... Anyway there is a spare parts list that came with the antenna (I have it) but it does not list size, it says 2 - 1/4 stud.. but that does not answer your question..
If you need this list or would like it I can scan it and post it or send it to you..

So you guys got me thinking, after looking at these elements and measuring it realized something... these look like Aluminum Arrow shafts, and the inserts might be the arrow broadhead insert.. which all parts are readily available at most sporting good stores for building you own arrows (yes I am a hunter and used to bow hunt)
I will double check this and let you all know, I'll have to do this later today after I'm off work.. but if this is the case replacements should be very easily created.

I'm fairly certain that mine, purchased more than 10 years ago, is using actual arrow shafts, not something based on arrow shafts.
And I'm 95% certain that it's 8-32 threaded rod that connects them. It looks like 8-32, and I pulled a random "this looks like an 8-32 nut" out of my bin of random machine screws and nuts, and it fit just fine.

Not sure what they are built out of now but back in the day they were aluminum arrow shafts. I know because the one I have says Easton on every element. :)

Not a surprise at all. ;)
I will double check this and let you all know, I'll have to do this later today after I'm off work.. but if this is the case replacements should be very easily created.

Ahh yes, my mistake... Anyway there is a spare parts list that came with the antenna (I have it) but it does not list size, it says 2 - 1/4 stud.. but that does not answer your question..
If you need this list or would like it I can scan it and post it or send it to you..

Hi guys
I've always liked the arrow antenna for field trips, I wonder if it is sold in Europe.

That is the LENGTH
The thread of the piece is either 6-32 or 8-32. If you can't find the same pieces you can buy the parts at Home Depot and cut off the head

My arrow antenna has SAE 8-32 screw studs to attach the elements.
