Well, the Sirio Tornado bit the dust. Not impressed with the quality. In a 30mph wind it snapped at the base. It did perform well up to that point. The trusty Imax 2k will go back up.
I have one of their mobile antennas for about 4 yrs now and works flawless. Their base antennas,although they do perform well, the construction quality just isn't there.What a piece of junk ! You're not alone........I've heard other report recently of Sirio antennas not holding up well in winds.
Can't believe it only took 30MPH to snap it; my A-99 takes 50 to 70 MPH winds several times a year (I live on a small windy island), and while it whips around like crazy it's always straight as an arrow again when the wind dies down !
Interesting. Been some years now, since Sirio claimed that they had the "NEW" Tornado, that was supposed to address that specific issue. I doubted that it was any better.Well, the Sirio Tornado bit the dust. Not impressed with the quality. In a 30mph wind it snapped at the base. It did perform well up to that point.

Maybe yours was not a "NEW" one? Send them a photo, see what they say?Interesting. Been some years now, since Sirio claimed that they had the "NEW" Tornado, that was supposed to address that specific issue. I doubted that it was any better.
At least you're back on the air!Imax back up. Altho a good antenna it is noisy as hell.View attachment 68407
