What do you think of this 'plug & play' cantenna on ebay?
Also, the Pringles-style seems to be popular, despite that I've read it's too small to be effective.
It bothers me that the guy is calling this a Yagi, when it is not. I made a few of these, using various can sizes. I might guess that this is the "3lb" coffee can. Cost to do it yourself? A USB adpater of your choice, and some cable. $52 might not be a bad deal, but you don't know what's inside. This is a USB connection, not an RF connection, which has its own benefits.

The cable alone is worth the starting eBay bid, isn't it?
