Disclaimer: I have not purchased the Jetstream Fan Dipole. However, there isn't anything magic about this simple antenna. The fan dipole is a good, basic multi-band dipole antenna. It's not going to do anything magical, but it does work as good as any dipole on the bands it is designed for. There is no magic in the design, so they're all going to work pretty much the same. You can either build your own or buy one that is pre-packaged like this Jetstream antenna. You could probably make your own for a little less, and you have to determine if the extra "pre-packaged" cost is worth it to you. If what you are looking for is an antenna like this, the Jetstream isn't any better or worse than any others.
