If the coax is permanently attached to the antenna like they are on the
normal skymatch 800, I'd give it a pass.

The factory offers an optional connector so you can easily change the
coax on the Skymatch 800 for about $20 extra - if that option is
available on this one, it would be a much more attractive antenna.

The 800 worked well as a "portable" antenna for me right up until the
coax died.

I would like to see the IP3 or some dynamic range specs.

I don't know about the H900 but the only commercial active antenna I
found that claimed better figures than the H800 was the Wellbrook.

Dale, What is the 25" by 1" antenna element made of? Good DXing to you, Gary,
Illinois, USA.

What's difference between this and the 800 ?

Probably exciting because Grove has an exclusive.

Yes, the H800 is a good antenna, especially below 5000 khz. I have one
and use it from time to time. Unlike some other active whips, the H800
is astoundingly quiet when properly situated. It's very short and will
be as quiet as its location. Very handy!
