very good stuff.
seems like everyone who uses this thing is very happy with the results.
I don't see the typical stuff that most people say about portible or travel
antennas...such as "for a compremise antenna, it is good" or "for a small
antenna, it does what is expected" or anything like that. They all seem to
say it exceeds all expectations both low and relative to portible set ups.
I do like the auto switching feature.
