Then at least they ought to call it a "Pro III", "Mark XII" or something like
that.
And where do you find this info, Texasantennas.com seems to be an empty website.

So they take a Force 12 model, change everything about it and still call it a
Force 12?

## Yup. Then it becomes the new upgraded version. The new version
5BA has 2 LESS (sic) eles, more gain, better fb + fr, lower swr across the
band,
and pattern holds up much better across the entire bands. Thats the difference
between NEC2 and the pro version of NEC4, with custom front end drivers.
That and all the less than optimum mechanical aspects have been eliminated.
IE, no more riveted eles. No more riveted boom splices....ditto with
riveted ele to boom brackets.
No more .049 wall tubing, with the usual 12 x swedges per each 20M ele.
## Then repeat for several other F12 legacy ants, like the XR5, C3, C3S,
etc, etc.
## https://jkantennas.com/ Those .25 inch solid Aluminum coils, welded at
the
ends, are the real deal. I have run several of the JK designs through the mech
software, and they are very robust, minimal sag and horizontal deflection. Even
the
full sized 40m eles dont require trussing.
