I've said some not-so-nice things about RF Systems products over the
years. However, I spent much of this past weekend trying out their MTA
antenna and it turned out to be a lot more fun than I anticipated. So
far as I can tell, reports that this antenna delivers an excellent S/N
ratio are not exaggerated. It can't perform miracles and it's not the
equal of a longwire in quiet conditions, but for someone in a noisy
environment it picks up less electrical noise than any other antenna
I've ever used (including the Wellbrook)--and by quite a wide margin. I
was very surprised. And it's a passive antenna, a big plus all by
itself.

Always nice to be pleasantly surprised.
