Same thing I found here with numerous comparisons this summer. The e probe is
great for general purpose work (nice to be able to go from 10 kHz on up with no
retuning!) and as a standby or portable antenna, but the TX loop antenna and box
loop receive antenna are always better s/n wise by at least 6 dB.
