Arrow antennas are hand held directional Yagi antennas made in America and a great accessory for the ham that wants a very directional, focused propagation of his transceiver radio so he/she can work LEO (low earth orbit) satellites and distant repeaters. The antenna’s direction is modified by a reflector (the largest element, located at the “back” of the antenna) and then several reflectors, or directors, set in parallel help to focus the propagation of the antenna. The more reflectors the Yagi has, the greater the gain.
"BP" Stands for Back Pack - Two-piece Boom - Split boom.
The Arrow II line of Antennas has been engineered to provide maximum gain and efficiency in the smallest practical size & weight.
Only About 19 oz. (split boom add 1 oz.)
Aluminum Arrow Shafts are used for elements.
The 2 in-line Gamma Matches (shown below) are pre-assembled & pre-tuned. One connector for VHF and one for UHF. Only female BNC is available.
The Boom is 3/4" square (with rounded corners) and 37 1/2" long.

Under the foam grip, the boom is drilled & tapped with a 1/4-20 hole for most camera tri-pods.

Because the antenna is hand held, power should be kept to less than 10 watts maximum. If mounted, maximum power is 150 watts.
