Question 1

Can this be mounted on an 80-ft tower in addition to a yagi?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended for mounting high on a tower, because you would need manual access to it to change frequency.

Question 2

Will it work on an attic and also the radials or counterpoise wires?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your MP1LXMAX works great in an attic, and many operators have achieved DXCC with attic mounted Super Antenna MP1 series set ups. You can use the included pre-tuned radial sets, which will work fine when laid on wood flooring or other surfaces. They can be zig-zagged or loosely spiraled around to fit in the area you have available.

Question 3

Does this unit support the 70cm band? i see the current radial mr642 supports 6m,4m,2m and uhf 23cm but no mention of 70cm.

Accepted Answer

MP1LXMAX is designed and rated for the following frequencies: All ham bands 80m, 75m, 60m, 40m, 30m, 20m, 17m, 15m, 12m, 11m, 10m, 6m (3.5MHz to 30MHz manual tuning) plus simultaneous 2 meters (144 to 148 MHz) with a good SWR. Continuously tunes all frequencies Marine, Government, NGO, CAP, MARS, EmComm, Shortwave, CB, and everything in between. 70cm is not currently in the designed and rated list.

Question 4

Are the radials actual elements or precut wire?  How big are the radials and is there a picture or digram please?

Accepted Answer

The Super Antenna MP1LXMAX package includes all the radial sets for all bands. Radials: Pre-tuned multi-length quarter-wave SuperWire Stealth Radial Sets with integral push-on connectors make it easy to cover the complete frequency range every time, without tweaking the radials. The longest radial is 66 feet, and it may be spiraled or zig-zagged to fit within a smaller area. See download Application Note for more details and images.
