[ADXA] Eantennas opinion

[Lanny Aldrich]

Back in the shack.  Mine is a 20-6M Radiowavz Sentinel but K1NH in Peterborough, NH makes the very best and stands behind it forever.

Subject: [ADXA] Eantennas opinion

I’m talking to a friend who needs to replace a small tribander.  He needs low wind loading and weight.   He is also not loaded down with money.  EAntennas makes a couple of tribanders that fit and are under $1000.   I don’t know of anyone using EAntennas products, and the price worries me.  It seems unrealistically low.

Any opinions on EAntennas?   if he goes with a new antenna,   one  alternative is an Optibeam of similar design which is about $300 more.    If it was me, I’d probably get a JK Navassa 5 but that’s yet another $400 or so.

Could an Eantennas Mini-3B for $959 be a decent option for a 2 element tribander that would hold together in the winds we have ben seeing?
