Yes, I did. In fact I tested a number of different antennas at the same time and did test the older shorter 400mm long black model. I performed a VSWR test some time ago and this was reported on The big Antenna S11 catalog - #14 by TonySmith and it had a very low VSWR so looked really good, HOWEVER, from my range testing its gain was less than my 1/4 wave ground plane.
Only goes to prove a good VSWR only means its not reflecting the power back to the transmitter, it does not mean its being radiated.
