Thanks for your reply. Agreed - there is not much of a selection for 14 to 51 or 7 to 51 antennas for the US market. Is an
LPF-700 a recommended solution?
You're correct. Fracarro antennas are designed for European frequencies. However, gain versus length is an interesting comparison.
Comparing the Fracarro gain graphs to similar US model spec sheets (that unfortunately do not provide gain graphs):
VHF-hi = channels 7-13 (174 to 216 MHz)
UHF = 14-51 since 6/12/09 (470 to 698 Mhz)
Thoughts?
