I suspect that the photo used was "generic" as they talk about antennas from VHF low band right up through. In any event, for your application, it's a moot point.

The Telewave catalog does a poor job of describing the antenna; take a look on the write up on page 5 of this PDF: http://www.talleycom.com/PDF/%20TSQ2_09.pdf The picture there shows that it is indeed a folded dipole. Unfortunately the antenna is too heavy for my application- 7 pounds for 6dB and 11 pounds for 9dB. The pricing looks to be about $100/dB.

I didn't see any mention of it being a folded dipole. The picture certainly doesn't look like it is. No mention that it is even DC-grounded.
