[QUOTE="Piggie, post: 32702, member: 2941"]More than one person has come to this forum owning a C series and needed more VHF gain. I can't change my attitude toward their company based on exactly what Eureka said. I have never doubted the antennas work for UHF, and even Ken Nist says the C2 is the best indoor antenna in it's class. No whiskers make it safer indoors than other 2 bay except the old Radio Shack later Channel Master indoor 2 bay, that is out of production (can't remember the number). I would think to compare to a C4, a Winegard 7696p and AntennaCraft HBU33, should be all very close to the same class. I would guess AntennasDirect gave you the antennas? I know buying a lot of antenna just to test is about impossible to get into the budget, or it was where I worked. If the NAB gave them a grant to design that antenna, manufactured off shore and financed what I called their snake oil tour, to me that deepens the manure in mind. I lost some respect for the NAB during this transition. But my beef is with the company, and remain 100% open to results of antennas.. I no longer a fan of Channel Master, but their CM7777 still appears to be built as well as ever in China and I recommend it to deep fringe reception. Please don't take my comments about Antennas Direct company the least bit personal. I really love hearing your test results.[/QUOTE]
