Here are a few pics of the Jetstream 2/440 base antenna whose model name is in the thread title. I scoured the WWW looking for an idea of what to expect from this product in terms of fit and finish to no avail when deciding on a second base antenna for a portable application. All that are available are three dimensional drawings and pictures of the antenna mounted from a high level viewpoint, which didn't serve my needs at all as a consumer looking to be better informed. I hope that by sharing these pictures, another new ham may not have to make a purchase decision in the blind as I have. Needless to say, so far, I am very pleased with the construction and materials used in the manufacture of the antenna. My expectations have been met for a change.
As time allows, I will update this thread with impressions after I've had a chance to make contacts while portable in simplex and by repeater from various locations. Now, without further adieu:
Also, props to R&L for getting the kit to me in two days. I wasn't expecting to see a delivery until Monday next at the earliest. Will certainly look to the outfit again in confidence to fill my future needs.
Cheers.
