It's pretty hard to listen when you are talking, and it is pretty hard to compare one antenna to another when you do not have that particular model of antenna there in front of you and in operation at the same time.
And it is not fair to compare one antenna to another when they are not aimed in the same direction.
Antenna comparisons are made at the same time, within one hour of each other and in the same location and height....
