I think you are referring to the CA models...

They are a considerable improvement.

You will need a new beta match for the 205CA.


My old 205BA had about 10db F/B... My 205CA (actually an updated BA) is
well in excess of 20DB... Gain/bandwidth is also improved.

The new manuals are on the Hy-Gain website...

Hello

I have the 205BA, 155BA, and the 105BA Hy-Gain Long John Antennas which
I bought years ago and used them for over 20 years down in AZ and was
pleased with their performance.

I have since retired and moved to WA and in the process of refurbishing
all 3 antennas to put back up.  My question to the group is apparently
the BC dimenisions were made after antenna modeling came into being.

Is the conversion from BA to BC worth it ? or should I just stick with
the old BA dimensions.  Since all my manuals are for BA antennas is
there somewhere I can go to download the newer manuals ?   I was told
that the beta match rods for the 205BC are different then the 205BA is
this true of the 10 and 15 meter beams also ?  Appreciate any
comments/suggestions if the change is worth it.

Does MFJ sell the new beta matches or will I have to make them myself ?

Thanks


73 Gary
