That is not entirely correct. A 'digital' antenna is generally one that 
is either omni or has a wide beamwidth. A bowtie is a 'digital' antenna. 
Yagis and logs do not usually work so well. Unfortunately, a lot of this 
depends on the skill set of the end user. With a typical consumer those 
skills are nonexistent which mean a lot of confusion.
