Call 0345 2300 599M2 KT36XA High Performance Triband Yagi
A serious six-element 10, 15 and 20 metre beam developed from the original KLM KT-34XA, with high power handling, broad matching and rugged construction.
The M2 KT36XA is the result of extensive development of the original KLM KT-34XA, combining computer optimisation with range testing and real-world on-air evaluation.
Five elements are active on 20 metres and 15 metres, while all six elements operate on 10 metres, giving the KT36XA excellent performance across all three amateur bands.
A dual driven element, or log cell, provides a transmitter-friendly broadband match together with broad gain and front-to-back characteristics across 10, 15 and 20 metres.
High-performance triband operation covering the three major HF DX bands.
Five active elements on 20m and 15m, with all six elements active on 10m.
Designed for high-power HF stations with a 3kW rated feed system.
Heavy-duty mechanical construction for permanent tower installations.
Broad Performance Across Three Bands
The KT36XA uses a dual driven log-cell arrangement to maintain a broad impedance match while providing strong gain and front-to-back performance across each operating band.
This gives the antenna wide usable bandwidth without requiring constant adjustment as you move around the 20, 15 and 10 metre bands.
- 20 metres: 14.0 to 14.35MHz
- 15 metres: 21.0 to 21.45MHz
- 10 metres: 28.0 to 29.0MHz
Dual Driven Element and 3kW Balun
The dual driven element arrangement creates a broad, stable feedpoint characteristic across all three bands.
A 3kW 4:1 balun provides efficient matching to a standard 50 Ohm feedline, with the antenna using an SO-239 connector.
VSWR is specified at less than 1.5:1.
Heavy-Duty Mechanical Construction
M2 has upgraded the original KT-34XA concept with machined shorting bars and rugged centre element mounts, creating a mechanically strong antenna suitable for demanding permanent installations.
The antenna uses a substantial 32-foot boom with a 3-inch diameter and elements extending to approximately 25 feet.
With a turning radius of approximately 21.5 feet, this is a large tower-mounted antenna intended for operators looking for serious triband performance.
