Hi Natan,
I recently had a very poor experience with Force. First, I had an
installation question and called and fax'ed Force... but I never received a
reply.
Second, the C-19XR is a very flimsy built antenna considering it's advertised
at "100 mph". The antenna flops around like a bird in full flight, and in my
opinion, is not desirable for windy or coastal areas... such as here near
Daytona Beach, Florida.
The Hy-Gain TH-3 which you criticize there gains (perhaps rightfully so) are
a much stronger antenna than the Force. Therefore, while the Hy-Gain gain
figures are less accurate than Force, I believe the Hy-Gain wind survival
ratings are more accurate than Force.
W8JI makes a good point when he states "don't believe antenna specifications".
73's, Richard- NO4S
