I'm pretty much of the same mind as K9YC.  The DXE stuff I've considered 
seems expensive compared to other sources, and the things I've looked at 
up close at Dayton haven't thrilled me.  For example, their active whip 
antennas can't hold a candle to Clifton Labs for build qualityor 
features, and Clifton's even include schematics with them.
