Hy-Gain TH-3MK4 $499 from www.Hy-gain.com or $469 from

While the multi-monoband antennas are undoubtedly better performers
than the older trapped tribanders, the Hy-Gain designs are among the
best of the trapped designs and unless MFJ have significantly reduced
the quality are much better built than the Cushcraft. The F12 and
JT antennas are two to three times the cost of the TH-3MK4.
