Duoband DK7ZB-Yagis 2m/70cm with 2 Elements on 2m 

and 2/3-Elements on 70cm and one Feedpoint

These Yagis cover the range of 144-146MHz on 2m and 430-440MHz on 70cm.

They can be used for alle modes (FM and SSB/CW). On both bands the SWR is good across the whole band.

The 2+3-Element Duoband-Yagi

With an addional director the gain on 70cm can be increased to 6,2dBd. The SWR on 70cm is better in the range 430-438MHz. For receiving above 438MHz the antenna is good enough!

So we have 2 elements on 2m and 3 elements on 70cm.

The data on 2m are they same as with the 2+2-El.-Yagi.
