I've seen several Scala heavy duty yagis in use on USGS earthquake seismograph transmitters here in Southern Calif. I liked what I saw and got a catalog from Scala. They also make corner reflectors. And they are a USA company - in Oregon. http://www.kathrein-scala.com and click on "30-512mhz",

What is normal operation? It seems in todays heavily populated sites many installers have to make mounting choices a little closer than the spacing needed to operate full duplex with isolation so then more hardware is used at the bottom of the ladder to clear away the noise. If the resonant frequen

The corner reflector is an excellant quadrant coverage antenna. I have but one caution - if you plan on using it where it will be subjected to high wind or icing conditions, you will need one rated for that type of service. Expect no duplex service problems. Bob - W3TGG - 323-851-2786 Steaven

Does anyone use or have tried to use a corner reflector on a UHF machine? Anyone care to share their thought on the use of this antenna. I know some antennas work great in normal operation, but when they are put into duplex service they croak. Just not sure about corner reflectors. Thanks Stea
