Been using one for years with a RS-2096/197. I found it very comparable to the RS-800 antenna.

When searching for better antenna for my HP-1, I found the second one I bought, and have been using it for a month now.

I think this antenna is fantastic, I have had great results using it indoors on a metal surface, and it looks like it is still available for even less, amazing!

Can anyone tell me the difference between a digital antenna and a analog antenna?.........I didn't think so....

No difference at all, its made for the band not the modulation type

And all this time I thought there were HD antennas, Color TV antennas, FM antennas, etc. - DUH!

Based on the pictures linked in the OP, it looks like a mobile Wi-Fi antenna. Might do okay on the 800MHz band, but probably not so good on VHF high or UHF.

Also, any benefit you get from having an external antenna might be offset by the small diameter coax cable and the associated signal losses.

My ICOM discone is pulling in almost 16 digital TV channels in HD.

I guess it will arrive
in the spring. The tracking number they gave me is useless.

I can ,I can!!! The box says DIGITAL on it and the Analog doesn't LOL

Has anyone disassembled one of these antennas and taken a look at the coax? I have a few of the other magmounts DX sells that don't have a coil in the middle and have seen audio cable with better shielding than the stuff these antennas use. Of course, for the price it's pretty hard to complain...

Antennas arrived in about 18 days. They work ok, for the price.
