Email came from Germany with a new antenna that’s on sale. With the email came a photo which has been taken from a Polish website of this new antenna. For me it appears to be very similar to the Team Tornado, PNI Extra 45 and around a dozen other antennas that look like but don’t function like the President Virginia. Cost of new antenna of the Sigma variety is €29.00
Only the President original has there technology for the gripping onto the car remember.

By the way Simon, the Sigma V902 usable frequency spectrum is from 26.5 to 27.5 MHz. So for now waiting for your tests 🙂

How do you know that this Antenna don’t function like the President Virginia Simon?
I don’t.
But I’ve tried PNI Extra 45, Team Tornado, Delta 44 which all look same as this and all didn’t work like Virginia. I’m waiting for this antenna now to be delivered and then we will see!
I would say it’s from the same factory as Virginia/New York 🙂 Quality is quite good.
