2m EME XPOL Yagi Antenna 2mXPOL28DXP with Exceptionally Good G/T

Ultimate gain and perfect G/T of -0.79 dB for super weak EME signals are key features of this 2m EME XPOL Yagi Antenna 2mXPOL28DXP with 2 x 14 elements. Highest possible suppression of all side lobes. You can work a lot of EME stations with only 100W. Four antennas in the stack are the recipe to win any EME contest including ARRL EME, DUBUS EME, or A.R.I. EME

 

 

What does 2mXPOL28DXP mean?

• 2m – 2m band
• XPOL – XPOL – a Yagi that has 2 sets of elements oriented in an “X” format. One set of elements is +45 degrees to the Earth, the other -45 degrees
• 28 – 28 elements 14 + 14
• DX – For use in the DX part of the band 144-145MHz with perfect SWR
• P – The default Power for the antenna is 1500W

Look at the famous VE7BQH table:

Press “VE7BQH 144 MHz Tables” ROW 256 and 257. Or search “PA144”

2mXPOL28DXP (PA144-XPOL-28-9BGP) is one of the best-performing antennas on the table for its size.

Antennas-Amplifiers Product Benefits. A Major advance in antenna design.

• F/B and G/T superiority. All antennas have been calculated using state-of-the-art full 3D EM modeling software including the influence of the boom, bracket, baluns, and connectors. The performance of antennas designed using these techniques is exceptional, far better than antennas designed using the EZNEC program.
• No tuning antennas. Before dispatch, we assemble and test each antenna’s characteristics. No need to tune any element to get perfect SWR on the intended frequency range. Everything is pre-tuned.
• Easy to set up. Everything is labeled, just put number to number. Everything is included in the box: Antenna, balun, bracket, and guy rope support if needed. Yours is to assemble and have fun!
• Mechanical properties. We believe that our antennas are the world’s strongest antennas and are mechanically constructed much better than any antennas from other manufacturers.

The old name of the antenna was PA144-XPOL-28-9BGP
