$1000 PDL II clone

[AudioShockwav]

Here's one that I ran across today and found interesting.
I wonder if they have built the prototype?

Snake oil, besides that antenna gain is not in dB

Yep Mike, that gain figure looks like slightly inflated DBi, I think a two element quad is a little less than 4 DB over a dipole.
I used to have a PDL II many years ago and it was a decent little antenna for the size of it.

They don't mention what the "array of high-performance features" actually are. "Co-Inductive"?? Like Mike said, snake-oil.

Here's another Quad option, minus the snake oil, all tubing, 50 ohm feed, 10 or 11m, by a real antenna company, at half the price.
