I have re-opened (no log in or membership required) the Updates page on the web site, you will need to go there to get any updates/progress on this antenna.


That's odd.... You "Re-opened" the website, yet everything except "updates" require login.

Man, don't stress over this. Just make adjustments to your antenna as needed, when you feel like it, to make it really sing, and you will sell them.

ok, Pay Attention........................... Let's look at what I posted
"I have re-opened (no log in or membership required) the Updates page on the web site."

Do you see the underlined word in the sentence above? What does that say?
Its says I re-opened the UPDATES PAGE..........

ok, now lets go a little further.......................
When you click on the link I posted

What does it say on the front page of the web site?

"Updates page is the only page Currently available.

All other pages are closed until further notice."

So what does that tell us?
It tells us the ONLY page open is the "Updates Page"

I hope this helps you understand what I said.

Digitalanalog, don't get upset because of their incompetence, everything worked fine the last time I checked. Seems that most people in this forum have MUCH more time to complain about things now that they're quarantined. I appreciate your work sir and don't let their ignorance interfere with your work.

"The Searcher I" has also logged 5 hits in the 200-400 Mhz range as well, there is not much milair traffic where I am located but I did receive 5 hits in those bands, the AT 197 does WAY better with the weaker signals.
Listen to 274.450 for regular aerial refueling during weekdays. Tuesday and Thursday seem to be the most active days.

Everything is working just fine.
I checked it with 3 computers,2 laptops,2 tablets and 1 cell phone and had no problem at all.
ok sorry the update page is working this morning. Late last night it was not. I would click on it several times and it did nothing. I know what it said but would not do anything.

Mr “DigitalAnalog”, if this is your attitude before your antenna even hits the market, I can only imagine how your customer service would be after they are sold.

I strongly had considered giving it a chance, even though it is expensive. Was looking forward to your testing results, but as soon as you announced it was tested, you restricted the results page. Yes, I can read and comprehend, but I also know when someone is trying to dance a little sidestep as well. Not only does it sound like you are having performance issues that prevent your creation from being close to the ST-2 (as obviously intended, “based on an old favorite”) but your dismissal of legitimate concerns are worth noting as well.

Good luck with your venture. You could really have had something, had you stayed the course, and remained transparent. I think i’ll beef up my (original) ST-2’s, and continue to use them. At least I know what I have.

Guess you have to wait until Monday like the webpage says. Hope the testing turned out great and he keeps it to himself the way a lot of you guys bashed him.
Maybe only let the people on the mailing list know the results. Just watch, when the testing is in , it don't matter if the results are fantastic or bad, someone will ***** and tell the world how it should have been done!

Looks great! I remember having the original. Any idea yet on costs and lead time?

Really? Less transparency to those of us with doubt, that'll change our minds!

I have never witnessed someone who was peddling something, to go so defensive against the very people who are the target audience.

Maybe he has it fixed. Unusual way to inform us of that, but this whole cloud of secrecy since it appeared to be a dud, and the way he came at anyone who doubted his creation "based on the ST-2", (but really not) absolutely has done him no good thus far.

I genuinely would love to see a great antenna come from this. That would be such a great thing for the scanning community.

Well, this should be interesting....

I'm trying to figure out what the special announcement is.....Is it that we now have an opportunity to bid on an auction of the prototype that the testers deemed unsellable? Im not criticizing you, I think what your doing takes much more work than people think. Good luck sir
