M2 Antennas 2M9X 2 Meter Yagi Antennas
M2 Antennas 2M9X 2 Meter Yagi Antennas provide two sets of elements to build either a horizontally polarized SSB-CW-Digital beam or a vertically polarized FM beam, replacing the separate 2M9SSB and 2M9FM. Performance is optimized for a specific mode and frequency range, with no compromises to achieve unneeded bandwidth. The 2M9X SSB covers 144-146 MHz and the 2M9X FM covers 145-148 MHz. Where do you want to make yourself heard? Both models are ideal building blocks for a small turning radius, high-gain stacked array. Two horizontally polarized, vertically stacked 2M9Xs yield the same gain (14.8 dBd) as M2's 33 ft. 2M5WL, but with about 1/2 the turning radius. Great for QTHs that won't permit a long boom Yagi. The 2M9X can be stacked on a cross boom for the same gain increases, and the turning radius is still a very manageable 10 ft. Always designing and building new antennas to fit the needs of amateur radio operators, the "X" Series of antennas were redesigned to keep the packaging under 48 in. long, to minimize oversize surcharges applied by shippers. The "X" Series antennas offer the same performance as its predecessor, but with shorter boom sections. The boom sections also have a thicker wall for added strength. A side benefit of the "X" Series antennas are that they are more portable with the smaller sections. At the heart of M2 Antennas VHF beams is a driven element module originally designed for maritime ATS satellite service. All connectors are O-ring sealed to the CNC-machined block. Internal connections are sealed with a space-age silicone gel with nearly four times the dielectric strength of air. The balun connectors are triple sealed on the coax and nut-sealed at the block connectors. The type N feed connector uses a gold-plated, beryllium copper center pin. Elements are 6061-T6 3/16 in. solid rod with UV stabilized polyethylene Button insulators and stainless steel keepers. Thousands of these type elements are in amateur and commercial service with NO failures! Booms are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy tubing. Other key electrical and mechanical components are CNC machined for accuracy and durability. All hardware is stainless steel except the U-bolts. For uncompromising performance and long-term electrical and mechanical integrity, the 2M9X is unmatched.

M2 Antennas Solid Center Cross Booms
M2 Antennas Solid Center Cross Booms, model CB60, also known as FGCB60 or FCB60, are used for critical VHF/UHF/SHF satellite uplink-downlink systems, EME (moon bounce) and long range terrestrial operations. These Cross Booms feature a super strong 1.625 in. solid aluminum rod center section with two 2 in. outside diameter, 60 in. long, 1/4 in. thick-wall fiberglass tubing sections, to secure large systems or arrays. Built for years of slip free service, Solid Center Cross Booms eliminate the worry of crushing, cracking or splintering the center portion of an all fiberglass cross boom. One of the uses for these extra heavy duty solid center 11 ft. long cross booms are in an azimuth-elevation rotator (AZ-EL). Two medium or long boom Yagi antennas of two different VHF/UHF bands are mounted at each end of the cross boom, as required for satellite uplink and downlink operations. These cross booms are also used for horizontally stacking a phased pair of 2 meter cross polarized Yagi antennas for all-mode terrestrial operations including on FM and SSB/CW, as well as for a pair of circularly polarized Yagi beams for EME. These two applications require a non-metallic cross boom mounted horizontally on a rotating mast or in the AZ-EL rotator, respectively. The ultimate satellite, EME or terrestrial VHF/UHF antenna system uses two of these cross booms mounted vertically at the ends of an 11 ft. metallic cross boom. This type of four cross or circularly polarized Yagi array, horizontally and vertically stacked, provides incredible gain and front-to-back performance, effectively quadrupling your effective radiated power (ERP) and dramatically increasing your reception capabilities. DX Engineering also carries the coaxial cables and M2 Antennas Beams and Power Dividers to build your best-ever satellite, EME or long haul terrestrial phased array installation. Mount them all with M2 Antennas Solid Center Cross Booms from DX Engineering.

M2 Antennas Eggbeater Satellite Antennas
M2 Antennas Eggbeater Satellite Antennas offers exciting new performance characteristics for both fixed and mobile operations and will let you operate using Amateur satellites and communicate with the International Space Station! Eggbeater antennas produce smooth, omnidirectional, horizontal polarity patterns at the horizon. Above the horizon, the pattern transforms to Right Hand Circular polarization, making them a natural for OSCAR satellite use. With their spacing 1/8 wavelength above metal, as with the included Reflector Kits for base installations, the circular lobe increases by 6 dB, producing a hemispherical pattern. No rotation or steering is required. For terrestrial mobile, base, net control, contest or field day operation, increasing their distance above ground or over a metallic surface by installing the Eggbeaters without their reflector radial kit improves the horizontal radiation by up to 6 dB. This produces instantaneous communications in all directions. Hams with little room or budget for larger antennas will experience a new standard of performance with M2 Antennas Eggbeater Satellite Antennas.

M2 Antennas Polarity Switch Kits
M2 Antennas Polarity Switch Kits are specialized replacement driven elements with built-in relays that are designed to work on M2 Antennas circularly polarized antennas for the highest possible antenna performance for your satellite communications system. Circularly polarized beams are typically built with only right-hand circular polarization. However, attenuation of satellite signals can occur when attempting to receive the RF wave fronts of an opposite rotational direction, which is common in satellite communications Polarity Switch Kits modify the original antennas by adding the capability to switch between right-hand and left-hand circular polarization. This additional level of antenna capability allows the reception of both types of circularly polarized wave, for maximum signal capture. Switching is accomplished with the addition of a single DC control wire carrying positive 12 volts to the control terminal on the Polarity Switch Kit's replacement driven element block. Originally designed for NASA for many of their 100 to 500 MHz satellite and spacecraft applications, these Polarity Switches are now used by many Amateur VHF/UHF enthusiasts to enhance performance and flexibility for both terrestrial and satellite applications. The heart of each unit is a small, low loss coaxial switch carefully designed into the driven element block. Only one driven element block Polarity Switch Kit is required to achieve full right hand and left hand selection. They can handle 250W of continuous RF transmission power and present losses that are less than 0.1 dB. Installation is easy and involves only the removal of one of the original Driven Element assemblies and then mounting the Polarity Switch Kit in its place. Many Satellite enthusiasts build their new M2 Circularly Polarized Beams with Polarity Switch Kits, so their antenna systems will be fully functional from the start!
