Which has less mulitpath on UHF than any of the above antennas. It will fit on most j-pipes and if needed the boom to mast clamp can be moved back because it's such a light antenna. Remember that any antenna that is "compact" sacrifices gain and mulitpath rejection simply due to the laws of electromagnetic physics.[/QUOTE]
