I dont remember the exact model number but it was the one with the delta

I have probalby the same antenna up horizontal that I use for ssb on the low
end of 2 meters. Don't remember the name either
I have 3 diamond hnaX510's and consistantly can reach about 75-100 miles
in every direction with the antenna about 30 foot to the bottom of it, (roof

I compared it to a 8 element beam and it was almost the same signal strength
as the beam except it worked in all directions.

Good morning all..
Our Assoc. (www.n4nw.org) runs the X500's on both of our sites. I have
done the dis-assemble, and reliability mods discussed earlier. Both
antennas have been up for over two years with no problems. I strongly
suggest the upper support arm. We found that on windy days the

Well you have seen the obvious weaker mechanical construction which can
still work well with a side arm made from sch80 electrical pvc tubing,
however the power is combined power not per band but you should still
have survived if the antenna was held rigid and you were sure it was dry
inside. I

I have acquired a Diamond X-500 which claims 8.3 dB on 144-148 MHz

making the gain claims ridiculous.. My guess is it's rated in dBi,
therefore, the claim may be a little closer to realistic.. 5
