Winegard and Wade/Taco offer polar plots with the other technical information and specifications for their antenna products. Something I wish the other manufactures would do as well. Sadly Winegard does not present the scale calibration with their plot. Ex. http://www.winegard.com/kbase/upload/ya-1713.pdf Wade is targeting a skilled professional customer base so it is in their interest to offer information that would confuse many non-technical consumers. Ex. http://www.wade-antenna.com/Wade/highbandHP.pdf

The polar plot is a practical method to convey information about the directivity of an antenna.
