Fab-corp has the same pigtail for $21. A month ago it was $18 at fab-corp. They do have some very good prices on their omni antennas but the ones I looked at don't show any down tilt to them. We've found that if you mount a high gain omni antenna that doesn't have any down tilt to the pattern much over 80 feet high the range actually goes down because most of the radio energy goes over the top of the users. -- Bryan Halvorson bryan at edgar.sector14.net
