[Antennas] which beam

Thu, 25 Apr 2002 12:08:46 -0400

Not to start a flame war but check out the Tennadyne logs...I have the T-10
and YES I've had other decent tribanders to compare its
performance....Tennadyne is a well built, good performing 5 band antenna
although the instructions leave a bit to be desired.
