Agreed, and I'm not entirely sure that a comparison is even valid. As I understand it, the MLA30 series uses a wideband video amp; I doubt the Bonito would use such a shortcut. The Megaloop, if memory serves me, comes with about 40 foot of wire that you can configure in various ways along with a steel wire loop; the MLA30 only has the wire loop. Comparisons between the two might be more akin to 2 different kinds of apples than anything else.
Yes there are one or two MegaLoop reviews out there (from Google)....
Bonito is a company that sells various active dipole and loop antennas for ham radio and DX applications. Recently they decided to test their MegaLoop FX and MegaDipol MD3000DX antennas on an SDRplay RSPduo, and compare it against a higher end WinRadio. Bonito found that the RSPduo performed...

I still think you can do better with one of the loop amp kits in our Loops wiki and making your own loop - even a wire loop like the Bonito unit supplies. It's a little bit of a stretch to think that an amp would be effective up to and including the FM broadcast band and beyond without the possibility of overloading in high signal areas (hence the FM bandstop filter that's built into it)
If you're looking for LF / MW and HF coverage, using one of the loops in our wiki, or an amp with your own loop would be the way I would go. It's awfully pricey at nearly USD500.....Mike
