Antenna of choice ??

I've been using Maxrad and Larsen antennas for sometime now, both with favorable results. I've noticed that Antenex is mentioned often here on the Batboards. I have been to the Antenex website and their product looks comparable to the two mentioned above.
Just wondering what is your favorite brand ? Why ?

Larsen not bad

Antennex trunk lip mount is nice but ther coils seems cheap

AS is good for the low band ball and whip but the others seem Flimsy

And childs is good too

I have always had excellent luck with Comtelco 1/4 wave antenna from VHF-Lo to 800. My old pd went with 1/4 wave vhf and uhf and 800 antennas and they worked pretty well over the 5/8 wave antenna's in a large (50 sq mile) area.

I have used Comtelco.. Larsen and Antenna Specialists. They all perform well. I am currently running all 3 manufacturers on my car for various antennas. Larsen 1/4 wave VHF, Comtelco Low Band, and AS for Cellular.

Overall my favorite is Larsen though. That's my antenna(weapon) of choice. (Cue Christopher Walken dancing to "Weapon of Choice")
