Hello,
Was at Best Buy and examined this new Samsung Axession 5.2 antenna. It looks like a Silver Sensor on steroids:
The swept wing antenna is encased.
Heavy duty mount -- looks like metal between the base and antenna.
Amplified.
Mostly gray in color with different shades of gray for accents.
Price -- $99.95 MSRP.
Antenna lead permanently attached.
Fairly large box -- it is already assembled.
I didn't have it out of it's box but if there is some way to mount this thing outdoors it looks like it might survive pretty well.
All in all, it looks kind of interesting but didn't buy it -- to me, it's just too much money for what I perceive as an amplified Silver Sensor. Plus, I don't like the antenna lead permanently attached. Of course that lead can probably be modified easily enough.
Best regards,
Paul
