I hang out on 17 meters alot ...I hear many,I mean many folks running the hex beam, they all really like the antenna,and can get it for any bands or combo of bands from 20 to 6 meters from what I understand...I could be wrong on the band coverage though...please correct if wrong

Looks like they pulled parts from various antenna kits to make up missing parts from antennas they sold and had customers come back on

Meters reading both forward and reflected power combined ? :huh: Guess it could be possable

I personally dont know of any mods that can be done to that radio without opening the case. Welcome to the board!!
