[TowerTalk] Why not to buy an M2 antenna

[Larry]

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 with M2 about the dimensions. One 
problem was the way the Phillystran attached the the linear loading at the 
boom which had been fixed after the antenna I have was sold. They supplied 
the fix quickly.

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 from service, and now this post seems to refute that.  You also
mentioned a cost of $500, but M2 web site offers entire antenna for $291.  I
am interested in the real story.

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 call.
