Power Multiplication: 50X.
Turn Radius: 17 feet.
Wind Survival: 90 mph.
Weight: Approximately 45 lbs (shipping weight 50 lbs).
Key Features
Switchable Polarity: Allows operators to switch between vertical and horizontal polarization for optimal signal transmission.
Hybrid Design: Uses a quad-style reflector for improved signal rejection and Yagi elements for increased forward gain.
Construction: Built without drilling holes in the boom or elements to maintain structural integrity and extend lifespan.
Positioning: Within the Maco product line, it is second in performance only to the larger Laser 500.
Visuals and Documentation
The antenna’s assembly involves identical spacing for horizontal and vertical elements, typically mounted with a 1/4″ gap boom-to-element mount. For those performing maintenance or repairs, specific Maco Laser 400 parts and the assembly instruction manual are available online.

Logistics: Due to its size (40-foot boom), it typically requires specialized truck shipping rather than standard parcel delivery. Call or email us orders.res@yahoo.com about custom shipping charges.
