I have a Titanex V80-E (Expedition model), installed as fixed operation.
Titanex people build an special base for my requirements and put some extra
Kevlar guy wires the antenna had been almost 2 years up without problem instead
Tropical Storms.
At the initial setup several parts were damaged due aluminium problems and
Titanex replaced at no cost, I just covered the shipping.
I bought a matching unit too, but it´s a real junk, I never was able to couple
the antenna for 160 mts, so I decide to pull it out and installed a 2nd hand
Dentron Antenna Tuner inside a big plastic box, so each time I need to make a
band change I hust have to walk up to the antenna and change the AT; it´s not
practical but it works!!!
In 160 mts the V-80E performs not as good as my shunt feed tower, but in 40 &
80 it´s very good.
Hope this helps.
