We replaced our Sinclair 210 C4 1/4 spaced antenna with a Comprod 874F 1/2 spaced about 3-4 years ago. A marginal improvement in coverage was noticed. Quality and price point in my opinion is excellent. We also use the same for 2 UHF repeaters. We are very satisfied with our Comprod products and would highly recommend them.
I am not involved with the Comprod company other than being a satisfied customer.
