just took delivery of one of their Yagi antennea..spoke with them on the phone and very genuine bloke and helpful
still to try the goods outback .........but I have every confidence in the product as it seems he is a HAM operator that has branched out into manufacturing as
well and there is nothing like someone who from first hand experience decides to build something them selves to meet a market that is not catered for
the package and presentation was very professional on arrival...he also built me some patch leads split to my requirements so I can have the internet and the phone connected at the same time in the van rather than swap and change the patch leads if we are camped for extended periods
cheers

I tried using a nextG Yagi but found it very frustrating to point the antenna exactly in the right direction, you need to know where the tower is and then need to be able to aim the antenna precisely, problem being the Signal bars do not display on the phone until after the signal has locked, by which time I'd have moved past the tower. Yagi is good for a fixed installation but a real pain if you are on the move.

Hi Barry,
Am interested in the same same product. We have ditched our satellite broadband as it is too slow and too expensive. We have set up our
home broadband using aBigpond Next G 7.2 modem. We live in western NSW and only have limited coverage from the mobile tower. We are looking at fitting a good aerial to our house roof and one which we can also use on the caravan when travelling as the 7.2 Gateway can be taken with you in the van and has a wireless connection to multiple computors. The best bit is that it runs on 12 volts!.
We are considering an aerial touted as being better than a Yagi .
It can be found at this site.

Check it out..would be interested to hear your comments
regards
Guy
