Model No: 2MCP8A
FEATURES:
The 2MCP8A is a light weight, circularly polarized antenna optimized for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite
communications or other applications where a small circular polarized antenna is required. Optimum match and gain are
between 143 & 148 MHz for the satellite band. Rear mounted for easy coaxial cable routing. A preamp can be mounted
close to the antenna for almost no coax loss before the preamp, maximizing your receive performance. Computer design
techniques help keep spurious side lobes low down for optimum signal to noise ratios. This antenna features the same
CNC machined, O-ring and silicone-gel sealed, driven element assemblies common to all M
2
Yagi antennas. This insures
years of trouble free performance regardless of weather.
