Hi Group,
I have a Force 12 Tango 224 (4 el 2m, 2 el 6m, 2el 10m) triband yagi. I
would like to increase my gain on 2m but dont want to shell out another
almost $400 for another 224, and was considering constructing a two
meter yagi to go on top. The question is, is this doable or must
stacked yagi always be identical?
thank you!

Don't do it. For $100 - 150 you can buy a 2 meter antenna that will
outperform two stacked 224s. I have a CushCraft 10 element. People sneer at
CC, but it works well. If you operate 6 meter SSB at all, I would upgrade
that next. Unless you get something big, the 4 element HyGain is good,
supposedly better than the CushCraft 5 el. If you ever get a real tribander,
avoid anything that has "Junior"as part of the name.
