> Hi All:

> As I'm still researching a quick deploy, portable antenna for my apartment, has anyone had any experience with adjusting coils manually? 
> I'm thinking of the Super Antenna MP1 SuperStick, which seems to come with every thing you need but the eham reviews recommend buying a 3RD party whip. 
> After looking at whips, is this all all I'd require or you need the mount, counter poise, coil, mast,  and then a 102 inch whip to go on top of it all? 
> I guess I really need some help with the list of components I need to build the complete start to finish antenna, either it be the MP1, Outreach or Hustler.  
> I like the idea of simply swapping out a resonator when want to change bands, (The Hustler system) but I don't like the prospect of taking the hole antenna down, and having the XYL help me retune the thing when want to change bands, (The MP1 SuperStick).  The Outreach/tripod combo, although seems to work vary well and gets rave reviews, is way out of my budget.
