The PV-7, I forget who makes that now but there are no reviews on it so
that concerns me, and just a simple wire strung all over the place anywhere
and any way I can get it with out it being noticeable with a 4:1 ballem on
the end so I can hook it to the radio with coax. that might be my best bet
and definitely my cheapest but I think the longest to set up.
