Maco's 3 and 4 ele beams ?....

[Oatmeal]

Besides the price, and the 4 ele having another element, how are they different, in performances, ect ?..

Does the 4 ele talk any better than the 3, ect..


Looking for info on these 2 beams...pros, cons, ect...

Oatmeal, I don't know if you're wanting to see a comparison of these two antennas using modeling, but that is all I have to really offer. I have both beams and I like the m104 much better, but they both work well for me.

In my experience I could not tell what the gain differences were, but I'm sure there are others on the forum that will be able to give you all the details for how they determined the gain differences between these two and exactly what the gains and angles really are. :laugh:

I post the patterns below, but I did not go in and analyze every little detail and I did not use one to make the other, in an attempt to minimized differences in modeling details which can make some differences in results, but here is my M104c that I know is as close as I can get it to the newest specs, and an older model of the M103 I did sometime back in time. So, there could be some difference other than what we would expect.
