One thing about the Jack that they call a 'feature' is a wider beam width so it doesn't have to be pointed as closely. That's actually just what happens with lower gain antennas. When I was playing with those antennas I didn't feel that this complaint about needing to point more closely was a problem at all. While it's true I'll sit there and tweak for max signal maybe more than others, there was in reality very little difference in 'feel' between the two except the batwing is a little hotter on UHF and a lot hotter on VHF. Whatever works..
