We are not talking about C3 type antennas, but rather the C3i company
which used the K1FO design for their antennas was a different company.
IIRC they did make a C7-50, but most of their antennas used the
designation FO and IIRC for example the 12L 2-meter Yagi was an
FO144-12, or FO12-144. I have one of the 7L 6-meter yagis, 2 of the
FO144-12 and 2 of the FO440-11
C3i was sold to an individual who created Ariane Arrays, Inc. That
company is no more. The assets were sold/auctioned off.
Another company (Directive Systems) now sells the VHF and UHF antennas
of the K1FO design http://www.directivesystems.com/
Force 12 has had nothing to do with the C3i company or products AFAIK.

These (C3E, C3S, C3SS, etc etc ) are HF antennas while the C3i antennas
were VHF and UHF.
I plan on putting up a C-19XR tribander if all works out.

I can see how that could be confused with C3i.

No, C3i and their successor are not.

I can also see why that would add even more confusion as force 12 also
sells VHF and UHF antennas but of a different design.
Finding them can be a bit confusing with Internet searches, but I come
up with http://www.wimo.de/cgi-bin/verteiler.pl?url=antenna-force12_e.html
I hope that helps without adding more confusion.
