I have a TA-33 an am considering getting a TA-53 that would give me 3
elements on 12 and 17M.  It appears though that 12 and 17M come at a
cost in gain and F/B.  I am trying to assess the significance of the
difference and could use some help.  The F/B on the TA-33 is 20db across
10-15-20 while the TA-53 is 16; 13; 10 db for the same bands.  The
forward gain on the TA-33 is 8.3; 7.3 6.5 on 10-15-20 while the TA-53 is
7.9; 6.9; 6.5 for the same bands.  Am I better off keeping the TA-33 and
getting a WARC kit or picking up the TA-53?  Your thoughts would be
appreciated.
 Thanks,
	Bill
