Hustler says the 6BTV will work OK without radials as long as the

You were oversold! It really needs a radial system for decent
operation. It will work ... but ...


I was delayed in installing it because of a nesting Red Shouldered
Hawk that I refuse to disturb.

Meanwhile, I am reading articles online that indicate that the 6BTV
might work very poorly without radials even with a low VSWR.

I will have a nasty time installing radials where I want to put it.

Can you return it as not suitable for your use. Indicate it was oversold.


Anyone have any experience in that regard?

Thanks, Ron
