Hi,

I just received the Omega-Tec 2 meter antenna.  Its a little pricy, but it 
really works!  It put the stock antenna to shame and received and 
transmitted better then a comit and a smiley antenna that I have.  The only 
disadvantage to these antennas is that they can only be used on one band, 
but the Omega-Tec antenna sure does work!

I wanted to share this article in the event anyone would be interested =
or may have some experience with these antennas.
