IT'S ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINION, BUT I'VE BEEN HEARING LOCALLY A LOT OF
CONTROVERSEY ABOUT THE ANT...THAT BALUM/COAX MATCHING NETWORK LEAVES ME
COLD...ITS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE, THAT SETUPS LIKE THAT DO HAVE SOME LOSSES
TO DEAL WITH...HOWEVER, MANY MANY PEOPLE SWEAR BY IT..IT WORKS GREAT ON
40, MARGINAL AT 75. I COULDNT TELL YOU ABOUT THE OTHER ANT YOU MENTIONED
THOUGH, NEVER LOOKED IT UP, BUT THE G5RV IS TOO...UHH..I DONT KNOW, I
JUST FEEL A LITTLE LEARY OF IT.
