Don't forget about m2 I install these antennas all the time. 3 to 1 
compared to force 12. they are very rugged, extremely high quality.
Mile, Wyatt, I forgot the 3rd persons name are all very knowledeable and 
friendly. You can come by during business hrs. 
Mike also has a network analyzer and does a great job of making vhf/uhf 
power deviders and phasing lines.
