While I was at Dayton Hamvention, I stopped by the Arrow Antenna booth to speak with Tim, the owner of Arrow Antenna, to see what new products he had at the show.

I also mentioned that I was interested into getting started in amateur radio satellites, and to my surprise, he gave me one of the Arrow II antennas to help get me started in FM satellites, and to review here on the channel.

Tim gave me this antenna to review, and these are my thoughts on the Arrow Antennas Arrow II after using it.

The exact model of the antenna seen in this video is the Arrow II 146/437-10WBP Split boom with duplexer.
