Do Not Buy:

Cheap Ebay Whip Antenna

RR: These were terriable, 2.7 at 910.

RAIGEN 8dBi Antenna

Grumpy: "I think these Raigen antennas are worse crap then the Alfa’s", Horrible preformance even with LOS.

Any Bending Antenna (0-90 degree)

Nola Mesh: These antennas are okay when pointing stright up, but bended complely changes the antennna profile.
