Hi Pauline, I had a look 3 pages back on the Techies pages and couldn't find anything.
I have one of these antennas and reckon they are the best. They don't come with a booster but you can fit one if you want. I fitted a 12v Masthead booster just for those times camping on fringe areas but if near a town it is not necessary.
Some people find storage while travelling a problem but I leave mine on the mast, lowered of course and have no problems.
Cheers Neil

We have one, mounted on a pool brush handle as a mast. It works very well. I had our home antenna & cabling network replaced after problems with digital reception. The techie who came, fitted the Matchmaster's big brother to the house, and said, in his opinion, that the Digimatch was the best caravan antenna on the market. The long arms come apart with a single wingnut and the whole thing fits in a tiny space under a seat.

Sorry, it was the VAST Satellite TV I had read in the Techies Corner. Thought I saw a mention of antennas in there.
I know Myrtle has some sort of antenna arms packed away, haven't had a chance to work them out yet, only saw them once, so have no idea what brand, but thay were long white and thick, pulled apart and packed in a material cylinder.
Thanks for any imput
