1. In rabbit73 post #221, it appears the balun is flipped and further bumped out from the boom with a spacer

2. In addition, in the first picture showing the electrical connection at point B, its mentioned this is not the centered point between inner bays. However in the second picture showing the balun flipped, bumped out, and flat bar mounting, the electrical connection (would be point B,from above) still does not APPEAR centered

Is my understanding correct ?

I believe rabbit said the effective electrical connection is point B in post #221, which is off center.

But you are saying when bumping out the balun, to place the bolt & spacer connection in the same hole where the rivet was (point A in post #221) :confused:


also, did you mod help

thank you

each mod he did added significant increase, especially moving the balun way out, not sure if its recentred though, that was my original point....

EDIT: OK I think I got it now. thanks

Has anyone tried hacking a CM4221HD into an optimized M4, say 9.5x9

Im wondering if its even possible, or worth the effort

It would involve moving the inner bays inwards by .5" each, and moving the outer bays out by .5" each....then changing out or lengthening all the bow-ties, and then the flat bars wouldnt match the phase lines of an M4 either....this I assume would be basically rebuilding the whole antenna...?

has anyone modeled combining 2 x 4221HD's horizontally...

I tried this, and the gain in UHF appears very high (at 15 dbi - before deducting combiner loss), and VHF-Hi gain doesn't seem to make sense. It also appears much better that the 4228HD :confused:

I put the 2 - 4221HDs tip to tip on reflector rods

AGT is very difficult to adjust for 1.

yes, using your 4228HD model, I had 11-16 dbi, NET, from 470-680 Mhz, before combiner loss.

with 2 x 4221HDs combined, I get 15-17 dbi, NET, from 470-680 Mhz, before combine loss - AGT is under control on UHF

I will check again, but that seems to be overestimating possible gain on UHF

On VHF-HI, I didnt fix AGT yet...

thanks for the tips

EDIT: well, my "hunting" has ended, at least for a while...the best AGT adjustment was +2 across VHF-HI...it seems impossible

yes, also maybe because its a much wider reflector than the 4228HD

the 2 x 4221HDs are 23.6" apart, the 4228HD is 20" between bays

heres the nec file for VHF:

AGT bracketed values are RED, so I thought that meant the model needs to be corrected more, before even considering using the values to correct the gain :confused:

so in this case, 2 x 4221HDs is useless in term of net VHF-Hi gain, wheras the 4228HD is excellent.

EDIT: to get the AGT to work the reflectors needs to be separated (not touching, say by 1"), then AGT is corrected and a little gain is lost on lo UHF....I think

EDIT: OR the outer reflector rods of each unit, need to be made a single, continuous rods in the model, going from center of one unit to center of the other...


heres the file for 1" separation between reflector rods, NET gain is more than 14-17 dbi from 470 Mhz to 680 Mhz, Hi VHF-HI is mediocre, but decent at 213 Mhz - if the models are correct this means it beats any other 8-bay, hacked or not, and its cheaper also - of course more work is involved in supporting the combination structure

Code: 
CM 2 x CM4221HD combined 8-Bay W 16 Reflector Rods, VHF-HI, 26 dec 2011, 1" separation between ref rods

holl_ands, thanks for fixing that file ...looks like I was overestimating low UHF, and underestimating mid-high UHF...

still, pretty decent results

as for the wire configurations and wire radii (not at the balun), I believe I used the same data as in you model of the 4221HD (unchanged radii) ;)

I just took 2 of the 4221HDs as they were, and made the screens touch

it looks like your using separated reflector screens, similar to what I did in post #315



another idea might be to reduce tine separation to 2"



BTW, I CANNOT run your new 4211HD combined model...I get parser, constant, token errors, then I have to crash the program to get out...I thought it had to do with the quote/spacer markers, but after removing all comments, I have the same problem

EDIT: OK, tags #90 to #95 (reflector rods) got mangled out of position, and the radii got truncated to zero, in the opening of the file (I guess) - anyway I fixed it in my file

thanks

I'm not sure if the EXACT detail of the "bumped out" Rabbit73 balun modification was modeled, or more importantly if it made any difference in the model results as compared to JUST the balun flip mod ? just curious.

Thanks

Is there a reliable way of simply extending the CM4221HD whiskers to 9" long. I put an ALMOST perfectly fitting 3/16" aluminum tubing over the ends but I have not yet figured a way to fasten it solidly to the whiskers (its not quite tight enough to hold on its own)

So maybe some sort of glue that withstands outdoors ???, but then I assumed it would change the surface area properties and affect the antenna performance ...???
