Can anyone comment on the performance of the High Sierra HS-1800/Pro antenna

the route I'm going to go.

I'm just curious if anyone has any experience using this antenna for their
home and it's performance as such.

Thanks!


I think you would be far better off to get the Hi-Q.

You may want to try replacing the whip with a longer one if you are going to
use it as a base station.

I had both. Stuck with the High Sierra. The Hi-Q is *such* a pain to
mount to anything.

And even better if you can extend the lower section (~2" diameter
tube). More metal=better, but more metal underneath the coil=mo'
better.
