    As much a s I wanted to love the data boss, it is simply inferior. It can not hold a lock on the 3.0 channels and filters out my filters out my VHF2. My current yagi does a much better job. I knew it would filter them. But the data boss lost my Charlotte channels. My stellar labs yagi gets them...
