InnovAntennas are not designed to provide the best 'on-paper' gain figures! Instead they are design for the requirements of the band in question and for the specific purpose for which the antenna will be used. For example, on many HF bands, optimising an antenna for maximum gain is the way to go in most cases (but not all) provided a near 50 Ohm impedance can be maintained through the bandwidth. However, on most VHF and all UHF bands, optimising in such a way is detrimental to the receive performance of the antenna, and therefore inappropriate for the it to be designed this way. This is assuming the antenna needs to receive as well as it transmits. In many cases, never-achieved-before attributes such as Sky Temperature and G/T Figures are better with InnovAntennas Yagis (per metre of boom) than any other Yagi, period! If you want to be assured of the absolute best performance together with antenna stability, along with design consideration for your intended use, InnovAntennas are your only option. Antennas are hand built and measured precisely to a fraction of a millimeter. High quality, heavy duty alloys together with stainless steel fittings assure you of an antenna that will last for years. In many cases we can offer bespoke designs based around the standard range.
