Model No: 222XP40 

FEATURES: 

 

The 222XP40 is the hot, new dual polarized Yagi specifically for EME and long haul terrestrial communica-

tions.  It is our latest design using computer techniques to allow maximum gain and patterns in both the horizontal 
and vertical planes.  The vertical elements have been shifted 

/4 in front of the horizontal set to allow circular 

polarization if needed.  This means four possible polarization modes with one antenna!  Two antennas stacked are a 
great tropo and EME package and four or more are amazing allowing Even small Yagi EME contacts using CW or 
JT65B.  Structurally the 222XP40 is sturdy and clean.  Elements are 3/16” 6061-T6 aluminum rod mounted through 
the boom on UV stabilized “button” insulators. The boom is a full 1-1/2 inch diameter in the middle 3 sections 
tapering through two 1-1/4 inch sections to stiff 1” and a short 3/4 inch front tip.  The main ‘N’ connectors are O-ring 
sealed to the CNC machined block and 4:1 balun connectors feature triple seals.  The internal module connections 
are sealed in a space-age silicone gel. See our other accessories including preamps, power dividers and custom 
made phasing lines.

 

SPECIFICATIONS: 

XP =  cross polarized; H = horizontal; V = vertical; EME = Earth-Moon-Earth; *Subtract 2.14 from dBi for dBd
