I bought about 2 months ago a C31XR and a MAG240N. I mounted the C31XR without any problem but I have to say that I am quite disappointed with the 40M beam MAG240N. I noticed the following problems with this antenna : - the parasitic jumper is one (1) centimetre too short ! (and copper is not elastic…) - the difference between the stud axes on the same element is about 45° ! (I mean that when one side of the element has the stud horizontally mounted, the stud which is on the other side of the boom on the same element makes a difference of 45° with the other one.) I have a picture…(can be requested by email) - one of the element cannot be mount perpendicular to the boom, and this, whatever you can try to correct it ! , and it is not a tiny difference - the lexan parts (used to maintain the linear loading) are drilled without any care ! All those problems have been solved by myself without having any help or support from F12. Moreover, I asked many times Natan questions (dimensions of severals parts not written in the manual), but I haven't received any answer back for one month and a half. You can understand that I'm not able to tell you how this antenna works...... Regards, F8CMF, Sébastien sbajulaz@hotmail.com ----- Original Message ----- From: J.
