I’ve had it less than one day. As the website states, it’s extremely flexible. I’m now hearing a repeater 22km away full quieting that I could barely hear with the Yaesu stock duck antenna. I can also access the repeater at 1.5W when the stock antenna would not access it at 5W.
Comparison: I had the MFJ 1717S that was also very flexible and offered excellent performace. The issue is that I had two and on both the radiator broke off at the base. MFJ replaced the first at no cost under warranty. The second was out of warranty by 2 months so no free replacement. Also, the antenna is more expensive – $US57 approx $C82 not including shipping or credit card fees.
I’m selling this as I bought it for backup and decided I only need one for my HT and one for my van (see photo).
If you order directly from Signal Stuff, it will cost you about $C60 with shipping and exchange, not including credit card service charges. They are worth every penny and certainly significantly less money than the MFJ equivalent.
I need $50 + shipping. I accept eTransfer, Paypal or cash on pickup in southern MB – Winkler/Morden. (Did you know you can now pay with your credit or debit card via Paypal?)
Yes, you could buy it directly for just a little more, however, you won’t wait weeks as a result of international shipping, as I did!
