Most all of DAPA's antennas are available with varying degrees of electrical downtilt. The actual number of degrees of downtilt is represented by a digit in the model number. For example: QuintStar series 58010 - the blue "0" signifies 0 degrees of e-tilt. If this number is anything other than 0, that becomes the number of degrees of e-tilt. So, a 58210 would have -2 degrees of e-tilt, etc. This direct numeric correlation is only true for the PCS models. If a model has more than -9 degress of downtilt (i.e. - double digits), a letter is used to designate the e-tilt. See the CODING CHARTS for all variations. Cellular models - 2980.005 has 0 degrees of e-tilt. The 2981.005 has -6 degrees of e-tilt. As you can see, the numbers do not always correlate with the amount of e-tilt. In the case of cellular antennas, see the CODING CHARTS page for each family of antennas to determine the e-tilt of your model number. The degree of electrical downtilt does NOT cause the physical or mechanical dimensions to differ from that of the 0 degree base model. There are differences, however, in the radiation patterns, which explains why there are separate pattern PDF's for each electrically downtilted model.
