HELLO - I am new to radio and a friend wants to sell me this antenna that he rebuilt for $90. Is this a good base antenna? I do not want an antenna that bleeds like the A99. Does this antenna have a reputation for TVI problems?
THANKS

Look at it this way. If you want something bad enough or its rare enough YOU WILL pay for it regardless of what it costs.. Besides who really cares what someone else pays for something. You didnt buy it with your money it so dont worry about it i say.......

jesus, rci29659446...relax..it was my opinion. I really don't care if someone pays an over-inflated price for something from an E-bay pirate.
thats your right.
