Take a look at the Antenex YDAF series. These antenna's are manufactured by Bluewave for Antenex.

He said as you did. When you get it you have to tighten the hardware. Some was more than finger loose. This is for all antennas, but more for DB Products. He has used the Scotchkote. He likes it, but noted lasted only 3-5 years. He has remove antennas it was used on and at places where he had put black tape then coated it with the Scotchkote the tape was there, but the Scotchkote was gone especially on the side of the sun exposure. He did not know what the MEK was. Another problem he and I also have seen with the DB224 is where the high side of the coax connects to the folded dipoles. There is a small think fiberglass tubing to secure the loop ends together. We have noted on antennas that have been up for a while this piece is either gone or badly damaged. Mainly a structure component. I'm giving myself about a week to think on the DB224 or Station Master. I like both, but lean toward the Station Master. 73, ron, n9ee/r
