RE: [smartBridges] Sector antenna range vs omni

[Jason Keller]

The sectorized maxrad omni is a joke. Save yourself about 500$ and buy three of there wisp series sectors and be done with it. You pay an extra $500 for a fancy mounting apparatus to put them all together. Trust me there is no difference in the performance, or appearance of the antenna’s.
