A/S Mon Series for VHF-Low

[doctordave]

Anyone have experience w/ the A/S base antenna (Mon 751) on 35-40 MHZ? It's product literature rates it for 50-800+ MHZ....would imagine it is, at least, fair at the lower freqs. Reviews on this site seem to suggest that it leaves a lot to be desired on 800-900 (no surprise) and that it is not so spectacular on VHF-Hi. I'm really just concerned w/ VHF-Low.

I've used an A/S MONR31 like that shown at http://www.weisd.com/store2/ANTMONR31.html . It's not cheap but it's well made and does a good job of both VHF-Lo and VHF-Hi. It's built like a tank. I had mine up on the roof for about 10 years before I replaced it with a discone becusue more 800 mHz systems were coming on line and the MONR31 is really poor above 174 mHz.

The cost looks to be almost 3x more than it was 10 yrs ago. Shop around.
