Virtually all antennas are "old technology" and a lot of the guff bolted on to new models claiming to be some magical new method which allows an antenna to hear stuff no other can usually don't do a damned thing other than convince the buyer to part with silly money.

Your Antron is old technology. Its a vertical monopole halfwave antenna with a matching section at the base. The only difference is tuning is done by altering capacitance rather than the length of the antenna but from a perfomance point of view it works no differently to the simple halfwave antennas you could buy 40 years ago.
