Yagi-Uda Antenna Unboxing..!!!
Gonna have soo much fun with this i'll upload another video on how long will this antenna is gonna go - SMA Female Socket.. - 18dbi - 500m cable.

what would you do to extend the wifi range between an AR drone 2 ( quad
copter flying toy) that uses its own wifi to connect to an ipad for
navigation control.? The drone range is about 160 ft.. It would be nice to
fly it in about a mile or 2 range. Any ideas? it would need to be portable
with the ipad. Thanks

Part 2 of 2. How to build a ham radio 2 meter 4 element yagi beam antenna with a gamma match using parts from an old T.V. antenna. For more information ...
@bognapalm If I remember right it has something to do with the formula for
calculating a series LC circuit. The formula is in my old advance class
study guide but I'll have to search for the book. Some yagi antenna
modeling software, many available for free download on the internet, will
calculate the length of the gamma rod for you. As for this style of gamma
match you could scale it down for the 70 cm band but it might be a bit long
and unsightly if used on a lower band such as 10 meters.
Normally all the elements are grounded to the boom when using a gamma
match. An antenna with a dipole driven element uses an insulator to
separate the two halves of the driven element and can be used to insulate
it from a metal boom. Dipole fed antenna elements can be mounted on either
a non-conductive boom or a metal boom using insulators. Hope this helps and
thank you for watching! :)
The adjustment of the gamma match was not addressed and it looks wierd all
the way to the end. Flip it over if you want it vertical for FM. The mast
does not need to be grounded, the elements work in relationship to each
other. Want more elements ? Male them a little shorter or the same as the
last director. Space about the same. Check online yagi calculators.
It was fortunate that the holes that I reused were spaced 12-3/8" which is
an optimal length on two meters. The TV elements have also been trimmed to
the correct lengths and were calculated using yagi antenna modeling
software. This old TV antenna has been completely turned into a terrific
little 2 meter amateur radio antenna. ;)
@JuggledaJungle The original antenna worked great receiving the FM
broadcast band (105 MHz) when the TV antenna was new and fresh out of the
box from Radio Shack. But the antenna, old and broken now, has found a new
useful purpose by being converted to transmit and receive on Amateur Radio
(ham radio) frequencies. ;)
@virtualbush Yes, the adjustment may be a bit tight. To increase frequency
I could have made the gamma tube a few millimeters longer. Sliding only the
grounding strap inwards seems to lower the frequency. SWR will of course
also change with height and vary depending on the coax cable length. Thanks
and 73! :)
Perhaps some demonstration/information (A short Part 3?) regarding how to
tune using the gamma in case the SWR is a bit higher than we might like.
Enjoy! I will indicate that we would slide the tubing either in or out over
the dielectric. Hopefully not inward in this case because your assembly is
tight!
No. The driven element is attached directly to the boom. More information
about building this antenna is on my web site. The link to my web site is
on my YouTube channel. Click my username, then click the Feed tab. The link
is in the upper right corner of the page. 73 and thanks for watching! :)
hi Dave,, ive just built this 2m yagi plus gamma match,, my first build ;)
i enjoyed the build, thanks for the great videos,, im fairy new to 2m
radio,, you say this antenna is horizontal for SSB so do you mean if i turn
it vertical,, i can use it for FM ?
cheers Rob
when you wrapped the copper part of the gamma match on the pin of the coax
connector and than soldered it,,,, it was only to the center pin and not
touching the side at all,,, is that correct,,, just so I know,,,,
thanks!!!!
what is in the middle of your gamma (the white insulator....with copper).
Can you not just use the element, or double aluminum elements up together?
When do you have to use a type capacitor in line with the coax?
Thanks for the information with regards to the Gamma Match ... pictures or
in this case now video ... tell a thousand words ... I will use this feed
system for 440mhz on the beams I make ... Thanks Mike ...
@zx636racer Element spacing is mentioned in part one. I simply removed the
plastic TV antenna insulators and used the same holes to mount the
elements. The spacing is 12-3/8" between all elements.
Dave, excellent videos on all your projects, very instructive and
educational. Well done young man you are an inspiration to young amateur
enthusiasts. All the best 73 ...Owen G0RCL
