I have a set on the way this week, in the simplest of terms they are merely a parabolic radio wave mirror. IF they are made correctly they will help focus the radio waves towards the antenna to enhance the overall signal quality. I ordered, from Amazon, the ones you linked to. The only potential drawback I see is they wont necessarily stay completely parallel to the antenna because of their design. However, I believe they can be jerry rigged to mitigate that problem.
I have seen other posts here where folks claimed they worked or helped, which is why I decided to make the buy. For me about 17 bucks is a cheap price to pay for any level of improvement. While I don't think I'll be taken on these, if so a small price to find out one way or the other. I can tell you this they will have little effect for close in high altitude ops unless you lay out the antenna parallel to the ground.
If you get them let us know your experience with them, and I will do the same here. |
