Any Info On This Antenna?

[ShannonS]

Can anyone help me identify this antenna,

I got it from my neighbour as the bit that connects to the mast broke from all the birds sitting on it.

Looking at the size of the dipole, I'd say band 4, but could be a narrow cut yagi for lower channels.

Fracarro usually have a model number stamped into the dipole, sometimes on the boom or on the reflector.

Have a look in those spots and see if there are any numbers.

ShannonS,

What is the total length of the dipole? This is the element which is connected to the cable.

ShannonS,

Col's on the money. You don't have to go off and measure anything.

Look for some numbers like shown in this image: click

Ok, so I went to measure it anyway, and its 22.5cm from left to right, on the dipole it has engraved Ch 40 - 46 so I guess its a narrowband.

But can anyone tell me how much gain this antenna has?

Measuring the dipole will tell you jack.

Fracarro 10/4046R (10 element with reflector, channels E40-46). Maximum gain 11dBi, frequency coverage 622-678MHz.

Edit: That's a maximum gain of 13.15dBd, across Australian channels 42 - 48 (49 at a pinch).

Yep.... it's a Fracarro 10/4046/R

10 Element Yagi with reflector.

Narrow band UHF for Australian channels 34-49

11dB Gain 24dB f/b ratio

Thanks for your help guys,

Now I'm having trouble with my diplexer topic here
