I am not sure "predictable" is one of the attributes I would use when using one of these devices.
Really - the real benefit of them is to annihilate a local noise source. I remember getting a really deep null (50 db) on a station that was about 1 mile away with a similar device. I did spend some time trying to peak a specific DX station by playing around with the knobs - but never really felt like anything was "predictable". Just my experience. Was using mostly the JPS ANC-4 back in the day or the MFJ-1026 more recently. Perhaps the NCC-2 is a bit more refined and the settings have enough calibration to produce reproducible and desirable patterns. Obviously using two antennas spaced like 1/8 or 1/4 wavelength apart will help.
