Hi Bill.
Most of this antenna data, including the technical stuff has as sole purpose to
confuse and sell a piece of material worth 5 cents for 150 $. 
Fact is, that the antenna should not be very good, otherwise it would not work
good enough over the whole bandwith. Interference (on reception) from on board
equipment is not caused by the antenna, but by interfering equipment or its 
wiring
Really, the 20 cents piece of copper to be cut and glued as an antenna,
as supplied with the kit works just fine. Actually better then the 175 $ 
certified
piece of aluninum on the club cessna :-)
There is so much more effect to be gained by spending the extra money on real 
improvements!

Regards,

Jos Okhuijsen
