I don't buy into the Vortex nonsense Eddie,

I found out more info from owners & ex owners that had issues right out of the box & not only with the Q82,

The 3/8 cone may be steering the pattern, It certainly changes signal strength but not in a positive direction for me & not enough to make much of a change on a typical s-meter,

I don't know what they did to make the model look good, the images are too small to see anything for me,
Whatever they did I don't see it in my tests,

it does give the claimed wide low vswr bandwidth but that's all folks.

I would not have a Vortex given even if they offered to pay my fuel costs for collecting it.
