I DO handle equipment (seller) but though I may tend to agree with you in
your point, if that equipment is the only game in town and someone is in
need, what are they going to have a choice of? Some antennas do work better
than others. That is a given. I've just not had space to experiment on my
own to find out for my self - their claims. Very little room here for
antennas and most of my area is all aluminum siding, high voltage lines and
no way to go above it or away from it. "I" am not "pushing" any particular
product. I merely mentioned I have them. I did say a previous customer had
good results with the discone model. So, that is as far as I'm going. As I
said, if someone wants to buy - ok, if not, that is ok too. I'm a bit more
educated than the average RS sales person, but I am NOT going to get into a
war of technicalities over designs "I" had nothing to do with. I don't have
time for that. CL

"seem" to work ok. At that time, I didn't have 1/4 of the equipment I

Your initial posting implied (to me) that you are a professional seller
of this antennas (and maybe other equipment).
Sorry when I was wrong. As a "normal user" you may have trusted the
manufacturers "promises".
