Converting a 15M6DX-125 to a 15M6DX?  

Not understand, why?

The M2 antennas are over rated so will want to keep a stronger antenna 

The 44ft boom wall is s joke! 

I needed to replace my booms with the heavy duty version that they have to 
sell, but that you don't know of it till you have a problem and complain about 
this antenna
