How should I classify this 2.4GHz antenna?

I’ve recently installed a BluSeries receiver and four 2.4GHz antennas on a station in southern California, and am about to do installs on three more. I’m using these antennas from l-com…

My question is, how should I classify those antennas when updating the stations’ details on motus.org? There’s no exact match for that antenna. The antennas themselves are small things and sealed in weatherproof cubes, so I can’t see the internal antenna structure, and the company’s datasheets don’t give any details about the antenna’s elements, configuration, etc.

Hi there,

We cracked one of those open in the name of science and inside is a 4-element panel yagi. So we’ve been classifying them as “yagi-4” in the deployment. See attached pictures

Hi all, we did recently add “panel antenna” as an option when creating or modifying a deployment. It’s pretty generic, but may be sufficient. But perhaps not?

@user80 or anyone at CTT, do you have any opinions? Or anyone else?

Ooh cool! I’ll go with 4-element Yagi. Thanks!
