[TowerTalk] perspective

[Mel Martin]

Contrary to the common perception, the reason for using monobanders is
NOT higher gain. Much more important aspect of monobanders are.

Higher reliability due to simpler construction, less electrical joints
to fail and much lower wind drag.

They don't detune as badly with ice or snow loads.

Easier to design.

The few extra db's are certainly a bonus, but reliability is the big
attraction for me.


>I don't worry about a few db of trap losses nor the need to use
monobanders.
