I am trying hard to not like this antenna, and on looks alone that would be easy. This antenna is a mighty beast...but, when it comes to reception, so far, it is one of the best I own. Head-to-head against the Watson Super-gainer the Condor is best up in the 800 mhz getting better signal and clarity at greater distances. The super-gainer is slightly better at VHF reception. Overall so far so good.

another not so tough review

Owned the Austin Condor 2-3 years, used on a 396XT worked great until recently. The 396XT would only receive sites when I was within 1/2 mile or so and it was poor and scratchy. I was frequently switching between the Austin Condor and a mobile mounted antenna so perhaps the SMA connector on the antenna broke internally. Went back to the stock portable antenna.

Not really a tough antenna.

Initially, reception was very good. But this antenna is not the toughest as the description says. After one month - cannot receive any signal - like a connection is broken. I was pretty careful with this antenna. The WSMA Super Gainer I have had for a year or so has been in briefcases, backpacks, and no problems.
