Very interesting -- thanks for the info Bilar.
As a semi-satisfied owner of a Zenith SS with a cheapie RadioShack powered amplifier, I get blips and blockiness from my setup more often than I like to admit, even with relatively clear line-of-sight to the tower farm ~17 miles away. If the MANT940 is really "all that", I'm very tempted to gamble $40 on it. It doubles the price of the SS, so it should at least be 2x as good, right?
More opinions would be helpful: anyone else have any experiences with this antenna to share?
