All bets are off with me Homer until I get a good confirmation from Shockwave or Bill on what they think, regarding what I sent you earlier via email.
This is a problem with Eznec, that I was assured in the beginning was not a problem, having to make sure the wires in Eznec were all constructed in some particular order regarding wire end 1 and end 2, or was just so so order fine.
I know doing so so is not the desired procedure, but I was told that Eznec produced the same results even if you don't follow the recommended procedure in this regard.
If you look at these models you will see that the performance results are the same, the antennas are structurally identical 1/2 wave yagi radiators, and look much alike, but the current distributions and the phase are all different.
This is what I just recently became aware of, and I don't like it, else we need a positive and well noted solution and instruction in the Wires section of the Manual.
Plus if you use the auto feature for making radials using Eznec, it will not fix the problem with current distribution and phase. It just aggravates the problem even more, by the way it connects the wires, and looks to me to possibly produce the worst situation regarding phase.
I've read a lot of Cebic stuff on Eznec, and I don't recall ever seeing anything about this problem there either.
I do hold out hope that it is just me that has the problem however.
