Speaking in general of JoGunn Antennas: Although made well, you have to be very careful with their specs. They tend to exaggerate quite alot. I own a 5-Star and do like it, but it is for the most part, a typical 5 element beam...it's just made very stout. When I bought it (well over 13 years ago), it was expensive. Looking at your model, I would think you could do just as well with a Wilson 5000. Their price seems to be a bit high even on this model you are looking at. Good luck-- |

Neal .... I would LOVE to see several of these beams head to head on a good antenna range. The FACT IS a 3 elm beam no mater who makes it with the same boom length will have about the same gain ...... if it's $120 or $600 . On 6 since 66

Hi Bruce In Fact last night I was talking to south Florida with 3 Watt Deadkey Swing about 45 Watt and a pale of mine was talking with a Davemade 1600 watt with omni-dir and they said I was coming strong then my pale. I have a RCI 2970 but I was checking the Antenna my self. This might help??? Yes I know what your getting at. Neal Steering Wheel 27.285 AM CEF 747 73's |
