My experience with the 4BTV goes back to the 70s but our explorer post, 
which specialized in ham radio had one and it also worked extremely well. 
Of course, we only had it up for brief periods at a time for camp-outs and 
field day and the like.  I don't know how it would hold up over the long 
term.  Lou  WA3MIX
