Purchased a M2 436CP30. Had a failure of the switching block in less than 5 years. White plastic cracked and allowed water to ingress to the switcher. Customer service?? No return call. Pics on reque
Sorry you had a problem with M2. I've dealt with Mike and his gang when he ran KLM and more recently with M2. Since he started M2 I've ordered and used 17 of his HF antennas. Customer service has alw
I have a 12 element M2 2m beam that has been on the tower here for 10 years or more. Birds.. BIG ONES, osprey, owls, seagulls, mother-in-laws, have all been up there and many sit way out on the end.
Really?! How many calls have you made? If only one and then come out here to flame someone who has done more for hams than almost any other mfg is bad form. Try calling again, maybe something slipped
Are you also talking about taping the insulators that are part of the gamma matches for some of the Cushcraft yagis? --Original Message-- _______________________________________________ _____________
I don't think that's fair. Hardly no company offers weather related wear and tear warranty support. I wouldn't even have asked them to. I own 7 of their VHF antennas and they all work well. I like th
You've got to be kidding me. See here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/11312549334/ for pics of this junk. Been out five years. They cost $500. Hardly worth it. Bad manufacturing practices or engi
Pardon the space for this post,, But Dino is absolutely right... The folks at M2 are super,, they have helped me fix a 2800 rotor that I "inherited" and had some issues from previous owners...They to
Wish that were the case. I've spoken to the "team" at M2 twice. Actually was told to "F@@K off." Requested to speak to Mike twice. Those people are a bunch of idiots. I won't hold my breath for a cal
I have an M2 antenna going up on the tower soon, so I am interested in factory service available to cover problems. Something is fishy in your series of posts. You originally said no return calls fro
I have two M2 antennas up. I talked with them several times. They were always helpful. One of the antennas was a special antenna that I bought from someone else new in the box. I was told to check wi

My story fishy? M2 sells the ANTENNA with no switching hardware for $291. Add the circularity sw and shipping and you just hit $500. Might get away with a Tohtsu relay but without custom made phasing
I also had a bad experience with M2. Ordered replacement parts for a damaged antenna and when I went to repair it I found the 2 1/2 in swagged on the end tubing was actually 1 1/2 in, tubing. I had s
Norm, I have a TON of M2 antennas here. It's my preferred brand for new antennas. Most bands from 40 through 2 meters. My experience with M2 has been nothing less than excellent. At one point, the wr
I have had several friends who have used the M2 line for 2, 6, and 40 meters. Their specs look very good but almost every one of my friends had problems with their antennas that should have been easi
Because most hams cannot (or will not) open up their pocketbook enough to keep companies like them in business. FAR too many of us buy mostly on price, then complain about the low quality of what we
I would not say that Telrex made a great antenna although you did get a lot of aluminum for your money. If you want to spend a lot for an antenna there are $5,000+ models available from SteppIR, Opti
