M2 436CP42UG - UHF circular polarization antenna (Ultra Gain)

The 436CP42UG (Ultra-Gain) sets a new performance standard for UHF circular polarized antennas. Gain and F/B are excellent. The arm length is matched to the 2MCP22 and together they form an unbeatable satellite communications package. Extremely clean pattern maximizes forward and F/B gain. The pattern is important for matching the antenna noise temperature to modern low-noise preamps. The CP42 is also excellent for ATV, repeater operation, and long-range trope DX and EME at around 432 MHz. The driven element and "T" blocks are CNC machined, with sealed O-ring connectors for low maintenance and long-term peak performance. The internal connections are embedded in a space-age silicone gel that seals out moisture and improves power management. The 3/16" 6061-T6 rod elements are centered in the arm to minimize interaction and maintain low ellipticity. The insulators are UV stabilized and locked in place with stainless steel retainers. The center arm section is 1-1/2" dia., taper, front and rear, across sections from 1-1/4" to 1" ends. If you are looking for rugged construction and high level performance, for EME use, M2 can provide an optional polarity switch and the parts needed to convert them to dual polarity Yagis.
