Does anyone know of a good beam antenna 50-1200 mhz????

I am no expert but I really think that any beam will cover that much range.

The Grove beam is the closest. I have one of the older ones that has a low-band loop refelector.

Create Log-Periodic 5130-1N
50~1300MHz

I would say the Create LP-5130-1N Log Periodic, which covers 50-1300. It is sold by various distributors, but this link will take you to Grove's page. It runs about $400 as you.

Wow, at $400.00 a pop wouldn't it be cheaper and better to get beams that are band specific?.
Take care

One would think so yes, but some people like to monitor everything from point A to point B (figuratively speaking). I have more narrow monitoring targets as I'm easily confused by too much activity! :lol:

KMA log periodic are built very rugged, work well and cost a lot less than Create. I have the 41-1300MHz and 88-1300MHz versions and am very happy with them. See:

Good idea, and I agree, but then your feedline costs go up for multiple runs too. I guess that and mast space are the only two real drawbacks. Individual range specific beams weigh less, less wind load, etc. which is better for mast load. Just that stinking feedline cost. :wink:
