In my comparison testing of these two on-air, there is little to no difference that I could tell.


Below are two Antenna Work Sheets that I did back in 2011 that compares the bandwidth curves for both, if the are still readable. You might try zooming in on the images a bit. Check the top line of the PDF file and increase the zoom,


or hover over the top of the top of the page for the PDF file and "click the mouse" a menu of options will popup. Select the + several times to zoom in.


IMO. the antenna with a gamma is noted to be more broad banded. I also believe an antenna that can use a gamma is usually a bit inductive, so the gamma will allow for a bit more bandwidth and these reports show that as one difference.
