Well, with a lot of cake on my face I've just realized that Antennex and Antenex are two different companies. Funny because I get on the horn (phone) or online to order them and that small little fact has gone by me all these years.
The yagi I mentioned in my first foot in mouth email is the YNT4307 with a spec'd 430 to 450 MHz range. Just a killer antenna and probably one of the best dollar high performance yagi's we've used in some time. The YDA4504 is a very cost effective alternative to the higher priced Decibel, Sinclair Brands as seen in the Tesco Catalog. cheers, skipp >- In [email protected], <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The 450-470Mhz version is the YDA4504 but this experience of yours is helpful. I had a new YDA4504 but traded it back to Antenex for a YDA4404 thinking the 4504 wouldn't tune down far enough to work on our receive (441 range). Experience with other Antenex antennas prompted me to pursue the swap. I didn't even try the 4504, guess I should have to see just how low it would go. > Gary > ---- skipp025 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've used (and am currently using the YDA4404 450-470 model for a ham > > repeater off a master antenna system.
