Steve,

Are the elements mounted differently? That could explain the change in length.

If they are mounted in the same mechanical fashion, how about the baluns? Are they different?

Hello All, I have two used 2MCP22 beams and have found that the element lengths on one are 1" shorter than on the other..Does anyone know if this is a problem or not? Some difference in boom but the same length over all. The elements do not look like they have been cut off..anyone have any clues to the difference?
