[QUOTE="EscapeVelocity, post: 45329, member: 3771"]Of the 4 Bays I have played with, the Winegard 4400 was the worst performer. I suspected that the HD 8800 was the least of the 8 Bays based on my 4 Bay experience and your tests show that. I dont have the CM 4221HD, Antennas Direct DB4, or the AntennaCraft U-4000. I do have the CM 4220A and the DB2, and the CM 4220A is superior to the DB2, but not by much. Furthermore the DB2 is more compact, I prefer it for a small form antenna for indoors and patios and such. Then Id move up to a 4 Bay bypassing the 4220A altogether. The 4220A isnt a bad antenna as far as 2 bays go, but it just falls through the cracks of other design considerations. Here is my analysis of forward gain of the 4 Bays, Ch. 14 -51, from highest to lowest.
