Here's your predicament:
If this is the situation you have, there is a UHF antenna package that has performance that is almost as good as the 4251 and is available at a reasonable cost: The Stacked Super-G-1483 UHF antenna collinear package. This antenna package is available from KAS Satellite and Cable . Here are the basic characteristics of this package:
This package offers excellent performance and would be tough to beat for the cost. As of January 2009 KAS Satellite and Cable is offering this package (Antennas plus
stacking bracket and phasing harness) for $139 plus shipping. This is a LOT less money than you'd be paying for a 4251 (assuming you
could find one)!
