I owned one. It was the excellent front to back ratio that was what I was looking for (don't remember, but it was in the range of 30-40db). At that time there were a couple guys that like to create havoc, and I don't know how much power they were running, but usually they would bleed over 3ch down and 3ch up ( could have been clipping a few things inside their cb, running lot's of power - or both) but when I swung the backside of the beam, all of that went away. If you have a chance to buy one - snap it up!
