Wow that is a lot for shipping. Here is another website that has them on sale with free shipping. I think I'll buy one from them.

haha I will let you know on the kitty test..
Rich its $12 for shipping I got a tracking order at 9Am today so order fulfillment isn't bad at all says it will be here thurs.

figured for a $20 investment cant be that bad.. scanner-master and amazon sell them at $300 which is insane. I wouldn't pay more then I did. I am a sucker for a $9 antenna

Yeah I guess $20 is much better than $864. Makes me wonder just how "free" that free shipping is...

WTH...bought 3! I like the radome enclosed element.

Tessco has them for (list) $270.

Must be an over production or end of life product for RFS.

Bought 5 420-470MHz 10dB welded gold anodized yagis from Antennex years ago for something ridiculous...$20 each IIRC, that normally went for $120. Antennex said they built too many for a South American telephone company that defaulted on their purchase and they had too many of them in stock. Still have two, sold the others.

RFS is right up there with quality alongside Sinclair and Decibel (who did they get absorbed by?)

edit: adding...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yagi-Antenna-10 ... 1119547113 "This is a liquidation sale."

edit2:

Yes, Cat approved
