Product Description
8 Element Astrabeam VHF/DAB Aerial VHF 175 - 230MHz

Our 8-element astrabeam aerial is suitable for VHF TV aerial and Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio aerial applications, with a directional Yagi design to facilitate wide bandwidth in fringed reception areas.
The antenna is designed to be mounted vertically for DAB radio and horizontally for VHF TV, with a PCB balun incorporated into the looped dipole for improved impedance matching of the cable.
The element design utilises solid plastic securing clips onto strong boom section.
The mounting bracket for the aerial will fit mast diameter from 1" (25.4mm) to 2" (50.8mm). Packed one per box with full instructions included.

Super easy and professional communication with the team at Blake. And a great quality product.

I was pleased with the price and items received however the experience was somewhat marred by DX Couriers. Expecting 2 items in the shipment they only delivered 1 and tracking confirmed 1 of 2 scanned onto delivery vehicle. When I contacted DX they confirmed the second parcel was still in Sheffield at the collection depot. This meant I had to wait in a second day for the rest of the order to arrive.
