Hi All,
I have been looking at replacing my 3/6 ele Dual Band Beam with a larger one (actually for some semi-local packet work rather than satellite, hence the OT-ishness of this post.
I know there is the 9/19 ele crossed Tonna, but I also understand the build quality on the boom isn't wonderful. I'm also aware of the Hygain equivalent, but they look to be owned by MFJ now...
I'm sure M2 did one at one point, but the only dual band I can see from them is a 5 ele on 2. I was looking closer to 9 ele to be honest.
Does anyone know of any other supplier that does something similiar to the Tonna ?
