My experience with m2 is the element rods being out of tolerance, easily bent, 
and then female N connectors snapping off readily on multiple products.

 Hello-  I have been reading some of the comments regarding M2 quality 
control. I have never had an issue myself with any M2 antenna workmanship, and 
I have bought quite a few over the years for 6 meters through 1296 Mhz.  I will 
say that I had two of the 2M18XXX's that were stacked 14' apart, on an alum 2" 
x 0.250 wall 6061-T6 x 24' long on a 92' tower, near Houston, TX several years 
back. A spring storm blew in and bent the booms on both. Being that the mast 
survived with no damage (18' out top of tower) but antenna booms suffered 
damage suggested that wind speeds were below the antenna ratings. I contacted 
M2 and they voluntarily replaced my two antennas; in addition they doubled up 
the boom thicknesses in center sections of both antennas. No charge for 
anything. So I feel they are to be commended for standing behind their 
products, plus providing me with a more rugged replacement. A representative at 
M2 has spent a lot of time with me on the phone at various times ,discussing 
antenna installation pros and cons. I just thought I would relay my 
experiences.      Sincerely,           Byron WA5THJ
