Have 2 types available. A Discone and a Ground Plane. Both good for 25 -
1000 MHz.


On technical reason a ground plane antenna can NEVER work as a broadband
antenna. It is limited to some frequencies or relatively small frequency
ranges with acceptable gain.


That doesn't stop outlets such as Radio Shack from advertising 25 - 1300 MHZ
coverage from groundplane antennas. Of course it will receive SOME signal
over the entire band, but so will a paper clip.
