Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, if you go in with your eyes open.
The F12 C3 was the same (2 on 20, 2 on 15, 2 on 10), although it appears the
driven on 10 was doubled, likely for bandwidth purposes. It looks like a
reflector yagi on 15 and 20 and a director yagi on 10.
If every manufacturer applied the same level of, shall we call it optimism?,
to their claimed gain and F/B figures, it appears the C3 worked better than
fixed-spacing, three-el tribanders.
Be curious to know if that's held up in actual on-air operation.
