I have the Signal Engineering Lighting 4+ and it works great. The dual polarity is awsome. Most people have a hard time understanding Voltage fed quads. I've never dealt with Lightning antenna but they seem to be the real deal.

I use the sg big bopper II love this antenna

If you look at just the gain of the antenna the 4 element is the best bang for the buck. it may not have the gain of the 6 but if look at weight,wind load and size the 4 elemnet gets my vote. I can not justfy twice the size for about 2 db worth of forward gain just my 2 cents

I"ve heard good things about Cubex their beam is built like a tank. It can only operate single polarity vert or horz. I've never tried one but it looks the beam is built to last. I also heard they have good customer service. My next beam will probally be a Cubex fed with SE feed system I...

That's a good thing talk to you later

SE lighting 4+ Just finish re-mounting my se quad every thing looks greats good swr. I replaced my elements with 14awg Copperweld.

No problem, the first thing I would do is to verify your elements are the proper length. Call SE talk to Tony tell him you think your elements may have streched by a bird and you need to know the element lengths for your antenna. Once you have the proper element lengths I would re-stretch all...

stargunn I can't say anthing about his base antennas but the mobile I had did a great job. I used his Big bopper II. I never had a problem matching the antenna ran bout 4-5 K all day long.

se quad Which feedpoint are you having trouble matching the verticle or the horz it's probally the verticle. if it is both then I would suspect that your drive element has been stretched. I know SE says they prestetch the wires but they don't do a very good jod of it. I re-stretch all of my...

best height Studies have shown. the best height to work national contacts has been 1 1/2 wave lengths about 54 feet for cb band. but for international work 70+ feet works at 150' you might loose a little national DX. Just my 2 cents

I'm re-stringing my quad

Need to know the best way to coat copperweld from oxidation and corrsion.

Jo-gunn I'm really upset with Jo-Gunn with their maketing tactics. I'm a firm firm believer. If you put enough fire into a piece of 2x4 piece of lumber it will probally talk too.

PDL II Thanks for the info. I have the manual I'm looking for documentation on the patented feed system. that might be explained in the official patent

Anyone have any patent info on the Avanti PDL II Quad? looking for the patent #

se quad I don't understand. My drive element on a lighting 4+ is 36'6" how can you say its a mini quad. the feed system is like a quarter wave tuning stub. SE quad could use a balun but you have to lose the dual polarity. that is why they have a patent on the feed system. SE quad IMO is not a...
