Ref my prior post,  same topic:

>   Is there a correlation of gain & vswr to freq?

The Tribander Test Report data also does include
info about the TA-33.

Example:  Gain at 21225 was measured to be 2.5dB;
at 21325,  gain had fallen to 1.5dB.  

At,  and between these frequencies,  per the data
presented,  the vswr remained flat at 1.2:1.

Those of you considering the purchase of a Mosely
Pro line antenna might want to have a look at
the mentioned test report on the Pro 77 and TA33.
The data in these reports just might help you see
what a trapped antenna does with vswr vs. gain
comparisons.  Look carefully!!  But read the test
methods  and author's comments as well.
