What's New?
New Band
The first new feature is the addition
of 70cm. Not only do you get a three element 2m beam but you get six
elements on 70cm too! Explore a new band - typical hilltop ranges 150km+ (much
more for summit-to-summit contacts). Like the original SOTAbeam, all the elements fit inside the
boom - yes, 2m and 70cm as well!
New Element Fixing Method
No more O rings, no more end caps! The elements screw into the boom using a unique
screw fix system designed especially for this application. Just twist to
lock the elements in place "so easy it feels like cheating".
New Guying Kit A
four-guy system with new runners and new adjustable collar system.
Easier and faster than ever before.
...but that's not all.
The new manufacturing process has allowed us to
redesign the 2m beam achieving higher gain and a better front to back
ratio than the original SOTA Beam.
We even supply a storage container for the 70cm
elements, in case you want to leave them at home.

"I have used the SB270 today on NP-028, Rombalds moor. On the
past two activations from here I have really struggled to work
anybody, today I worked quite a few people! I am very pleased with
the antenna, and it has got me interested in working on 70cms too!
