M2 will make it to your specs, it will cost extra and (in my experience) be a
fair value. Construction is very simple and solid. Their customer service is
also very good. I have the 6M5X and I have been very happy with it.
Why 3-element? Because a person who doesn't exactly know what they are doing
can raise one by themselves on a 20 foot pole, tie it to a fence post or patio
support, and work the world with it (again, my experience ;-).
good luck! - jeff wk6i
