Hello,Im interested in hearing from users of the NEW MFJ-1538 Pulsar
quad band antenna that covers ( 6 MTRS,2MTRS,220MHZ & 440MHZ) I use a Comet GP-15 now for 6/2/440. Over the winter I tried 220mhz band.I use the mfj 921 tuner with the Comet GP-15 and it does so-so on 220.I think maybe the MFJ-1538 would be better and I would have better efficiency on 220mhz. This is the only quad band base antenna made for 6/2/220/440 bands,so it makes me a little leery on performance since Comet & Diamond do not have a model like this,so I would like to hear reports from other users. A local ham friend just got one and I went over to his place to check it out,and it looks alot like my Comet. Can this antenna be tuned for 6 mtrs like my Comet,I didn't see A set screw for the tuning rod after the 6 mtr coil/radiator. My ham friend didn't get it mounted yet outside and he said he is in no rush either,so I can't get any reports on it yet,like how is the swr or bandwith,And most of all performance. I don't want to loose 6 mtrs while gaining 220 mhz.I enjoy 6 mtrs too. Is this a real VHF/UHF antenna break through,and wondering if we will see a mobile version? Some may ask why not put up a separate 220 antenna? I have restrictions 1 for hf ,and 1 for vhf/uhf limit only 2 antennas. Any users using the MFJ-1538 quad bander please respond,I would be interested in hearing ur likes and dis-likes with this antenna. 73 de Dennis WY3F.... |
