Can anyone give advise on quality of S20-05004 Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna on front page of coppper site... I tried the vector 4000 by this company and it is way to weak - is this beam going to have the same issues.
The Maco 4 element is 178.00 is it built better?
Thanks

just came across this today..

I have a friend that has a maco 3 element beam and I now have the Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna.

When he move to his new place I helped him put up his maco 3 element and they go on with U bolts as to were the Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna the elements slide in what is called a hub and the only hard part of the Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna is sliding the gamma match in or out to get a good swr reading.

I've even found that not to be as hard as I thought it would be, had the Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna at 10 foot above ground when setting the gamma match to a great swr reading then raise it to 36 foot to feed point and the swr never change a bit..
So owning this Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna I have found it works just as good as a maco beam of the same side but a lot easier to put together.
and this is my 1st beam and I'm liking it a lot.
I have found myself useing it more then my Imax now.
Use Imax for local talking and the Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna for DX.

Also I've mounted Sirio SY27-4 4 Element Beam Antenna on the flat side and get great reports both on TX & RX..
