Alaskan Arrow LEO Satellite Antenna - 4 Elements for 2 Meters crossed with 10 Elements for 70 cm

The Alaskan antenna is meant for those who live in the higher lattitudes and need a little more gain. For us mere mortals who live in the lower 48 of the US, the Alaskan is overkill. It is heavy and more cumbersome. Get the 146/437-10 flavor of your choosing. I get calls from customers who wish they had gotten the 146/437-10. A word to the wise. Bigger is not always better.

“BP” Stands for Back Pack – Two-piece Boom – Split boom.
