Reviews
Reviews from users are generally very positive, highlighting the antenna’s performance and durability.
Reviewers praise the antenna for its great receive and transmit capabilities and for talking “skip” (long-distance communication) effectively.
The antenna has been noted for its durability, with one user reporting it survived an 80 mph wind gust that toppled their tower.
Some users, however, have reported minor issues with alignment, mentioning that the sections can appear “crooked” when assembled, though this does not seem to affect performance.
It is often compared to the Antron 99 (A99) antenna, with some users finding the PT-99 to be a better value or performer.
