For you and Burr (if he sees this): How do those things hold up? Since I got a 2-meter rig, I'm considering either: getting a dedicated 2-meter antenna and keeping the discone on the 780, or B: using the discone with the 2-meter and getting a Scantenna. The only criticism I've seen of the Scantenna is they seem to be a bit flimsy - what say ya'all? Yes they seem a bid flimsy as they are made from the same "rolled aluminum" which TV antenna elements are made from. However I've had one up at 20' for 2 1/2 years here in Florida (along the coast no less) which has seen several tropical storms. No bent elements yet. Personally for the price I don't mind they are a bit more flimsy than most discones simply because the outpreform a discone at least 2 to 1. George http://www.MilAirComms.com |
