Eh, I did say I had tried a "previous" version of the ground plane. It did
"seem" to work ok. At that time, I didn't have 1/4 of the equipment I now
have. I've not really had time or space to prove anything in or out. I'm
preparing to move to a new location, then I can play all I want. More room
for antennas and so on. Here, there hasn't been room for much of anything.
No, I do "not" agree with all they write. There is always room for
disagreement. I suppose it comes down to the point of IF that is the only
product out there, and you need it, what choice do you have ESPECIALLY if
you're not capable of building antennas like some of us are? Not much of a
choice from that perspective. It's up to the individual. I'm not "pushing"
anything. If they want to buy - they will, if not - so be it! That is their
choice. CL.

Bad enough that you believe in the sheet (=****) of the manufacturer. A
professional seller you should know the technical basics on the products
he sells.
Never(!) believe in the "specs" a manufacturer gives, without some
verification of plausibility on it. Name these "broadband groundplane"
antennas JUNK and send them back to the manufacturer. Or keep them on
1/20 of the price and sell them as 'groundplane with gain some*where*
between 25 and 1300Mhz' at 1/10 of the original price. This should
satisfy everybody but the manufacturer :-)
