Perfectly understandable.

Yes, it does. Note the long, continuous rods used in their reflector. It's *ok* for situations with really strong VHF signals, but it's still not as good as even the most basic VHF Yagi antennas.

Although instead of swapping out a DB4 to put in a CM4228, I'd opt for simply adding a YA-6713 to the DB4. The two antenna setup is a better all-around solution for your situation if you're going to go through the trouble of spending some money and reconfiguring your antennas.
