You mean the Cushcraft A4S? The real differences between different 3L
trap tribanders of similar boomlength is so small that IMO you're not making
any gains, just swapping one antenna for the other.
The experience in our tribander test was that the Force 12 C-3 performed
in some cases as well as bigger antennas. It's got no traps and has been
computer optimized - neither of which are true for trapped tribanders. You can
read the whole story in our test report available from www.championradio.com
or 888-833-3104. It's got 60 pages of data sets, protocol and results and
costs $15. Pretty interesting reading if I do say so myself.
