i need some opinion on this ant you know it comes with a quad type back do with the 4 wir kit is the any if all difference between it and the 106? they say this ia 400 without the v side? thanks 2112 in ga..
 

What antenna? Make? Model? With that said, your best bang for the buck will be a simple 5 element yagi from Maco. Forget about the rest of the CB snake oil claims!
 
I understand your question now.

There are some advantages and disadvantages going with the quad-type reflector with the SINGLE wire. In my opinion, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

There are NO ADVANTAGES to having four wires! This is the epitome of CB snake oil!

Stick with all horizontal elements. I recommend 5 instead of 6!
 
if you do want the quad go true quad like a signal engineering lightning4plus. will out perform a hybird quad/yagi meaning a vertical & horizontal with a quad reflector. and please stay away from those so called back door kits where you add extra wires to the reflector. i tried it with a pdl II and it did nothing at all. either go straight quad or straight yagi 4 to 5 elements.
 
hmm

hmm ok thats what i wonted to know ..the kit came with it from maco ill just leave the out side wire and wont worry about the others..thamks.. 2112
