       Then a very attractive alternative would be the C-3SS which has a
smaller turning radius than the A-3 by 2 feet making it the smallest TR
tribander around. It also has the best performance when compared to
conventional trap tribanders. I just installed one and it really is compact
physically but offers better-than-average performance.
