After checking Directive Systems web page I have found the antenna to be the new and improved version of a DSFO144-12. They changed the driven element design in 2019. What would we do without the internet? Mike

It might be an M^2 2M12LB. If the feed and balun connections are 
hardwired it would be an old version of that antenna. The newer version 
has a machined block to which the T sections, balun, and feed connect.

> I recently purchased a few vhf antennas from an estate. One is a 12 element 2 meter yagi, roughly on a 18 foot boom. I originally thought it was a Directive Systems antenna. However the feed is different than the manual I found in the antenna sheets the estate had. The driven element is a 1/2 aluminum tube that goes thru the boom. It uses 3/8 solid rods for the T match rods. Would any one know who may have made this? Thanks Mike
