I tried to buy one and was stung. Was told to send a Western Union payment and he reckons it never came, so $230 odd Australian. He virtually said in email he didn't receive the payment (told me himself it will be that day) and has written the transaction off the books. So, I'm down $230 odd for the experience and he won't return my emails now.

Steer clear of the so called TAK-tenna site, you won't get your antenna. So, all in all, can't tell you how it works.

Retributive justice, your nemesis.

I once ordered a direction finding antenna from USA for 100$
plus 50 $ postage plus 20$ customs, and all I got was some bent wire
with loose connectors. The coax cable was not even soldered or
crimped on the BNC central pin!

I am Austrian, the other guy is Australian, not far away :-)
Ceterum Censeo, USA must be punished.
