InnovAntenna 50MHz 8 Element LFA-2 Low Noise High Performance Yagi

InnovAntenna 50MHz 8 Element LFA-2 Low Noise High Performance Yagi offers amazing pattern and performance for its price for the critical 50.0 – 50.5 MHz weak signal section of the 6m band.. This Loop Fed Array needs some extra space, with its very long 38.3 ft. boom, but it rewards the owner with stunning low-noise, forward gain and front-to-back performance. The G0KSC LFA Yagi is a major step forward in the development of the Yagi Antenna, providing an ultra-low noise "front-end" for any advanced 50 MHz radio. This rugged 8 element second generation LFA beam is hard to beat with a direct-feed 50-ohm feedpoint, no matching losses and excellent rejection of unwanted signals and noise. It's very well suppressed side lobes in both H and E planes make this model ideal for very noisy city locations.

Also, the InnovAntennas 8 element LFA2 Yagi antenna is made to survive harsh weather conditions, with a 1.77 in. (45mm) square by 0.078 in. (2mm) wall aluminum tubing boom, with tapered elements consisting of over sized 0.63 inch (16mm) element centers and 0.51-inch (13mm) element end sections, both of the same 2mm wall thickness as the boom. Fully insulated elements ensures continuous, high performance in all weather conditions for many years to come. The boom-to-mast bracket accommodates up to a 2-inch (50mm) mast and a Kevlar multi-point boom dual support system is provided with this horizontal polarized LFA Yagi antenna. A capable and accurate tower-mounted rotator is required.

Also used in production of InnovAntenna LFA Yagis:

• Marine Grade Stainless Steel Fittings

• Original Stauff Insulation clamps

• Mill finished boom and elements for highest levels of accuracy

InnovAntennas are constructed with the best quality materials in order to achieve the best possible mechanical construction, not the cheapest or most profitable. A digital caliper is used to measure the elements during production to ensure parts or within 0.2mm tolerance, ensuring each antenna works as well as the design software model predicts.

A great deal of development time was put into InnovAntenna Yagis, but not only on the advanced electromagnetic design. Extensively modeling on the effect of insulators, booms and other parts ensures that every component of InnovAntenna Yagi has the least effect on performance and pattern degradation.

For the 6-meter enthusiast who wants to beat the noise, enjoy great gain, maximum front-to-back performance, all for a great price, THIS is the 50MHz Yagi for you.
