Angled, Curved or Flat reflector ?
A. Angled or curved reflectors used with swept forward whiskers will give more gain and a narrower beam width on UHF. Curved reflectors have a more consistent gain curve than angled. Flat reflectors have a wider beam width with less gain and wider spacings with swept back whiskers can give an even wider beam which can be handy for receiving stations off axis without rotating the antenna. My reflector mount kits are set-up for either curved or flat reflectors.
