Size comparison: 800 vs UHF receiver

[redbird1]

Q -the Marshall promotional material (on the web site) discusses a down-sized body case for the UHF receivers - obviously smaller in the photos. Have you downsized the body case for the 800's too (doesn't appear to be down- sized in the photos)? If not, why not?

Also, can you contrast the size/dimensions of the fully deployed UHF yagi vs. The HSL yogi?

Thanks!

Well, the receiver bodies are actually the very same size. The big change to the receiver body (30% reduction in width) happened back in 2007 to make them easier and more pleasant to hold in the hand with the handle removed. That's probably what's being referred to there (maybe time for a change).

There's a couple of pics now on the Facebook page that better shows this side-by-side comparison for you (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150264246060665.328187.95847325664). When closed, the 216-219 HSL yagi is about two inches longer.

Hope that helps,

Thanks for the update - I am glad that the bodies on both were reduced - and I appreciate the closed-size comparison for the yagis.

Do you have dimensions for the two yagis when deployed (width/length).
