    A couple of those antennas or their cousins were evaluated in our 
on-the-air tribander comparison test, available from  <A 
HREF="http://www.championradio.com">www.championradio.com</A> 

    You not only get the results but also the WHOLE story including the 
testing protocol. It's a pretty good read that'll give you a good perspective 
of tribander performance. You'll see that you can use the F12 net gain 
figures for comparison purposes unlike other manufacturers.
