>The new XR-5 LPDA with a Intro Price of 895ドル. exceeds John's stated
budget price by 200ドル.
Otherwise, it is the only LPDA Force 12 is making. The popular C3
requires a tuner for 12/17.>
You may want to look a little closer at the Force 12 XR-5. It is not a LPDA,
but a "multi-monoband yagi" with two elements on each of the 5
bands...overlayed and staggered on an 18 foot boom.
It will be interesting to see how the Force 12 compares in the real world
with the LPDA regarding forward gain and F/B. I would think the XR5 has the
potential to be a better performing antenna, while still providing the
convenience of a LPDA.
Looking forward to hearing reports and opinions on this antenna. They should
start "hitting the airwaves" very soon if some haven't already.
