Antenna modeling software

On Fri, 27 Apr 2007 15:51:42 EDT, wrote in . com:
I've been 'googling' for a MININEC-based antenna modeling program (or
programs) and I've decided a guy could get old and grey before he was
through looking at all the offerings. I've kind of (based on web page
descriptions) compiled a short list of candidates as follows:

MMANA by JH3HHT
EZNEC by W7EL
NEC-Win Pro by Nitanny Scientific

Is anyone here using any of those, especially NEC-Win Plus? Can
anyone recommend one that they KNOW is better than the ones on my
list? I have $450 budgeted for this but I might consider something a
little costlier if it were overwhelmingly better.

I use EZNEC+,and quite like it. It lets me do a few things that the
free version won't, such as build helical models easily. The number
of segments per model in the free version is only 20, IIRC, where my
purchased version lets me have either 500 or 1500. The differences in
the results are quite small for every model I've built, whether I use
a large number of segments or a smaller number.

I'd like to hear about MMANA and NEC-Win Pro.
