The BlueBeam Ultra is a premium high performance omni-directional antenna set. Most pilots will see a 5 -6 X range and clarity improvement over budget antennas.
The Airscrew (3 lobe) is installed on the transmitter. The Mad Mushroom (5 lobe) is installed on the receiver.
Since it does not communicate with LHCP antennas, the BluebBeam is able to reject competing LHCP signals resulting in greater video clarity and range when other pilots are present.
Range and clarity can be further increase when coupling this antenna with a RHCP directional antenna such as a helical, crosshair, or pepperbox.
Also the length of the whip (bendable body) of the antenna is necessary and ideal to have the antenna free from any Fresnel zone issue. It's worth to mention the integrated baluns that play an important role attenuating any undesirable induced noise to surrounded equipment.
Bottom of line, if you want to upgrade your stock "rubber duck" antennas to better a antenna set, this is the set you want to go with.
