    I got the same antenna, sans duplexer, since I had one laying around, a great choice

    Can you make this same video, but with radios? I am trying to find the best radio as a beginner. something that will give me lots of capability but also push me to learn more and how to use it. I dont want to exceed the radio in 6 months.

    best "bang for the buck" antenna I own. I also use it on my mast for 2m SSB/digital, "DX" repeater and simplex work. I've made mountain top 2M FM contacts approx. 75 miles with 5 watts. I heard the "Alaskan Arrow" has enough Db gain to work the MEO SAT greencube IO-117. Fast with Parts and shipping too, cant say enough good things

    Looks like a great antenna. Looking to get one with more elements to chase the Greencube satellite

      They actually make one for the GreenCube satellite. I did a video with Arrow Antenna at Dayton a few videos back on the channel.

    Have you tried this to capture NOAA or Meteor-M2 sat imagery?

    Seems like a great antenna. But, man, that Arrow website needs some serious help.

      @@smbrown thank you for the feedback. I plan to upload some good passes with this antenna soon. I do have a video up on the channel of my first ISS contact using this antenna.
      Most of the passes I’ve worked have been at night under poor lighting conditions, so I didn’t want to use dark video where you can’t see what I am doing.
      Thanks again for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

      @@joelaut12 it was clearly disclosed TWICE in this video that I was given this product to review.
      I gave my honest review after using it for the past month, as I do with all products whether purchased by me or given to me by a brand to review.
      I am not an affiliate of Arrow Antenna, so I get no “cut” from sales. You’re only supporting Arrow Antenna, a ham owned business, and the work that they do designing and building their antennas.
