Has anyone ever tried to model in EZNEC a C31XR tribander, the one sold by

I would specifically like to know how to model the feed system which
consists of two pieces of aluminum angle that connects the feed terminals
of the 3 driven elements.


Since they advertise modeled patterns on the website, have you asked JK for their model files?

I don't know if they're advertising gain in QST, for which they'd have either model files supplied to ARRL, or measured data.

I didn't see this antenna listed here

In general, you should be able to model it as a wire connecting the appropriate points. Set the wire diameter so that the surface area of the wire is the same as the mounting bracket's. That way the skin effect losses work out the same.
