Scanner antenna beam
Is it 8 elements or 16,

Any help appreciated,

Are you sure it's a scanner antenna? It looks like a standard VHF/UHF TV antenna. This is nearly confirmed by the U-Bolt assembly for mounting it with horizontal polarization. Scanner antennas are nearly always vertically polarized.

Looks like a TV antenna to me, too. It's got 4 elements for VHF low, 4 elements for VHF high, and I couldn't quite get an accurate count on the UHF elements. Just like a typical TV antenna, it's essentially 3 relatively low gain antennas on a single boom.

Yes It's a Scanner Antenna I'm sure of that, you need the ubolt to secure it to the mast. I checked the Antenna Warehouse site and they don't show it any more.

That's a "Scanner Beam" from Antenna Warehouse, its supposed too cover all public service bands from 30 to 800MHz plus civil and mil air. Its probably contracted to a TV antenna mfr by Antenna Warehouse for low production cost.

Did that antenna come with the feedpoint located where it is now, or did you move it there? Also, I never saw holes for a u-bolt assembly drilled that far forward on an antenna before, I also don't see any holes drilled along the entire antenna assembly for vertical mounting. I expanded my PC screen & used a magnifying glass to ascertain that the UHF section has 5 elements. Do you have a model number by any chance?

You can set up the antenna for vertical or horizontal

As an ex TV man I have seen this antenna many times, sold and installed a few too. Pardon me if I don't understand all this confused speculation, it is a very common TV antenna.
