Default 2m sat beam brand question

ml wrote in :

hi


does anyone know of a commercially made 2m sat beam, circ polarized
hopfully switchable, that is less than 10ft long?

i've seen the Msquared perfect i like it , but it's a bit too long


anyone know of something very simular but a wee bit shorter?


tnx



You don't need to use all of the antenna. If you only need half or a
third just use that. I have an old cushcraft aop-1 and when I need to go
compact I just remove the screw holding sections of the 2m boom together
and use half of it. The 70cm side of the aop-1 is short so I don't mess
with that.
