Based on my experience, and I've spent a LOT of time and effort trying to "fix" tree problems, I've concluded that it's going to be pot luck. I've not had any particular level of greater or lesser success when changing types of antennas. Usually, a simple movement of the antenna will "fix" a problem channel temporarily but it often breaks a different one now or when the trees grow or the wind blows from a different direction, etc.
I have the same chainsaw (MS290) but usually use my bigger MS361 w/28" bar for most jobs now.
