Arrow Antennas 7-element Handheld Yagi

[patelldp]

I have one used 7-element handheld Yagi antenna made by Arrow Antennas. This is a little large for what I am using it for, so I'd like to swap with someone that has a 3 or 5 element Yagi.

Anyone out there have a 3 or 5 and is looking for a 7? This antenna has been used and is completely functional. The only thing "wrong" is that it is missing the plastic end caps for the boom.

PM if interested.

Dan, what frequency range is it for? Thanks.

70cm ham.

Bump!

I want to trade this

for this.

Or, I will sell the 7 element antenna for $60 plus shipping.

Dan, I went through the same thing a couple of years back. The 7 element was a bit of a pain in late season corn. I just bought a 3 and 5 element boom for $12 each. The Driven, Reflector and 1st Director elements are the same on all 3. The 2nd and 3rd Director elements are the same on the 5 and 7 element models. For $24 plus shipping, you get to keep the 7 element for when you need the extra gain, but also have the 3 or 5 element for general use. Looking back I don't use the 3 element much, as the 5 element gets the most use. If you only buy one boom, now your only into it for $12, and again you still have the 7 element if you need it. Worked good for me.

Mike,

Thanks for the heads up! This solves my problem, I'll purchase one in the coming weeks.

BTW - They are $19 now, not $12...ahh inflation.
