Antenna Basics

Post by madfrenchie »

I'm sorry if this post sounds extremely basic, but I'm trying to figure out if this antenna is a Directional or Omni Directional Antenna.

Sorry for being so basic but I'm still learning Antenna Basics. Its a Yagi 3 element Antenna. Link below.

Directional......however their figures for gain and rejection seem inflated

It is a tune able antenna, The element extensions slide on to the elements and can be locked into place at the correct length for whatever frequency you are using.
