Jim,

I've never used one myself so my ovservations are limited to what I've 
experienced working other folks who use them. For their size, they seem to 
do an excellent job. Just about all the ops I've worked using them had 
superior signals. For the space-challenged, they would seem to be a superb 
choice. Sorry, I can't give you any advice on which one to choose. Good 
luck. Lou  WA3MIX
