This cross polarized yagi was computer designed for the serious OSCAR user. Side and back lobes are significantly better than any previous design. The average side and back lobes power have been reduced by approximately 10 dB, enhancing signal to noise ratio and putting all your power where it will do the most good. The 2MCP22 is ideal for general use over the ENTIRE two meter band from FM to SSB and CW DX. Arrays of two or more will even permit moonbounce contacts using the old reliable passive repeater in the sky. The unique Driven Eement Modules are CNC machined and feature O-ring sealed connectors. Internal connections are encapsulated in a space agesilicone gel with nearly 4 times the dielectric strength of air. Elements are 3/16” rod aluminum centered in the boom with UV stabilized polyethylene button insulators . The result is minimum interaction and good ellipticity. The 2MCP22 is our finest circular polarized antenna. Even if you have used C P antennas before, we are confident you will be impressed with the 2MCP22 from the moment you open the box until you've worked DXCC and beyond!
