    Both are most likely equal as being they are both 5/8th wave antennas. The gain master is listed as .625wl (5/8th). The 2016 is listed as 5/8th wave. I’ve only had experience with the 2016, and it worked well. Easy to tune using the included manual, and HD enough to handle bad weather. The one I messed with went through a pretty rough hurricane and survived with no damage. As I said, I don’t know about the gain master but the 2016 is a good antenna for the money. It’s an HD antenna. Well built. I put one up at about 40ft for a good friend of mine that has since passed away. He talked all over the world on that antenna and a 100w icom radio on SSB. Anyhow, just my experience with the 2016 at least.

    if you need the bandwidth get the gainmaster if it'll handle your power .
