You have proven through the years to be less than honorable, so no, I will make no attempt to loan you anything. How about I send you a deposit for the cost of the antenna, then when I return it you send the deposit back? Any problem with that? No deal. If it is important to you then you would find a way to test these antennas. I don't generally loan anything out. |

Okay, then how about this: I'll buy one of those antennas, and if it doesn't perform as well or better than a 9' whip then you agree to buy it from me for the price I paid plus shipping. After all, if the antenna is as good as you say it is then you shouldn't have any problem reselling it, right?

102" whip
True, the general consensus is that I am wrong. Years ago the general consensus was that the world was flat. hehehe hopefully you found an ant that is better than the whip and you will go down in the annals of history as another copernicus. cheers as its getting late on the east coast. It looks like I have to explain once again exactly what I am saying. No shortened antenna can beat a full 1/4 wave length antenna of good design. I have shown this in my tests. The X-Terminator can be beat by a 1/4 wave length antenna, but with the same tests the X-Terminator can beat the RS 102" ss whip. |

I don't trust much of anything about you. NO |

Heck, it's just a straight, single piece of steel rod with a little ball on the end, just like every other SS whip, even the ones on cop cars. So what makes RS whips so bad that their performance is worse than a 5' loaded antenna? Or, if that's what you can't figure out, then what comprises a "good" design for a 1/4-wave whip? Selling it at a different store? I hope not, since those whips aren't exclusive to Radio Shaft -- the store chain is only a distributor, not the manufacturer, and you can be certain that the same whips have been sold under other brand names. Have you tried any other brand name 102" whips? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

It's secondary and arguable as to why it does what it does. All one really has to know is what it does. |

I don't trust much of anything about you. NO Well you sure don't seem too willing to put your money where your mouth is...... are you so financially strapped that you can't afford to take the risk on someone who has not only bought and sold radios in this newsgroup without any complaints, but has also sent free parts to some on occasion? Or is my identity so obscured that you think I'll disappear into the shadows with your precious antenna, never to be heard from again? Naw, you're just making excuses because you are afraid of an objective test of your antenna. I'm suprised you didn't try to pre-empt my offer by suggesting that the results of any test I make will be biased, but then again you are kinda slow..... Final offer: You find someone in my area with one of your antennas and we'll go test them up on the plains. The testing will be monitored by your volunteer so there will be no doubt about the results. Then I'll post the results in the newsgroup. How 'bout it, tnom? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

But we only have your word on that, which seems to differ from the word of everyone else in this group. But according to you, "we should never trust the claim of others. You and me included." So dig right into "secondary and arguable" since it doesn't matter anyway -- what makes a Rat Shack whip such a bad design? ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
