I'm the US distributor of Televes antenna products. As an antenna contractor serving sports bars, fitness clubs, financial institutions, and rich folks, I've tested every antenna that I can get my hands on. The Blake from Sheffield, England had been my favorite until I tried the DAT 75. With the Blake, I could receive digital stations that I couldn't get with any other rig, but unfortunately it is a flimsy, lightweight unit, like many discussed in this forum. The Televes DAT 75 is a far more rugged unit, and it's easy to point precisely - both left to right as well as tilt. While it has similar gross gain figures to other antennas, it does a better job of actually receiving stations year after year than any other antenna in it's price range including the Blake. Many DXers won't need an antenna like the DAT 75, or want to make the investment, but it is a unit that should be considered when weather, large birds, durability, and high performance are factors in their selection. Televes products will be available through national retailers very soon. If you are a retailer or writer, please contact me.
