It's not on larger boats, either. At 55' atop the mainmast of an Amel
Sharki 40 ketch, the Metz easily outperforms the 8' monsters, which must
be mounted lower.


What - you work for them or something?

Metz antennas are crap - always have been, always will be.

Junk.


Tom, according to the Metz website, they are used by the Coast Guard. This
is also said on other sites I've visited. See: http://tinyurl.com/22m7sy

Is there a specific reason you don't like them, the Metz Manta 6
specifically?


Yes - they are junk.

End of story.

And their warranty sucks.

Oh - did I mention they are junk?
