Jogunn antennas are so over rated that they beleve their own lies. Buy a I-Max or any other antenna from copper you cant go wrong

ive known people that had thier beams and yes
thier numbers are overrated.but i believe thier
quality is second to none.these antennas are
very heavy and will take alot of abuse.if ya live in a area that has 100mph winds daily id definately get a jogunn.but for most places
this is overkill.a imax or sirio 2016 will do
ya just fine

Brucester,
Don't get me started on Imax....talk about overrated. I value the cardboard carton higher than the contents. I would consider a Jo Gunn if i won lotto just because of how solid they look. Where i am wind isn't so much of an issue as dirty great big feathered things that use antennae as a landing strip come bedroom.

$400 for a son of a gun ...... $90 for a I-Max NOW IF someone could show me that this Jogunn WORKED better I might think a bit diffrent but 4 TIMES the price.... Buy ( 4 ) I-maxes from copper and you have 3 spares ..... Just my opinion

I own a JOgunn 4x4 cross and yes they are well built and the quoted performance specs are a little on the high side. But I do love my Jogunn if I done it over I would get the largest Horz. yagi that Jogunn makes or Wilson/matco.
