    Does anybody speak Italian?

    It looks like this thing would be pretty nice on the roof of a car as opposed to the Wilson 5000 roof mount.

    Is Mike delusional?

    It would appear he thinks the service manual means absolutely nothing when calibrating an S meter to S9. It would appear that by ignoring the manufacturer's specifications, and calibrating S9 for half the voltage, it perfectly explains why this meter is so jumpy...

    Avanti AV-281 antenna.

    Has anybody ever seen one or tried one? It appears to be extraordinarily expensive and pictures of it seem to be fairly elusive. Here's a guy that has one on his truck but I don't speak Italian so I don't really know much about this antenna other than it looks very well made.
