Has anyone used their products ?

I looked on E-ham net reviews, and the results
are a mixed bag.

What i'm interested in is their new "Frontier"
multi-band antenna (consisting of a remote screwdriver
HF antenna, and a UHF/VHF antenna that are mounted
on a tripod).

But for $675, the price is in "outrageous"
territory.

Wondering if anyone has actually purchased/used
one, and if it's worth the money.

Yeah, i'm lazy, don't feel like messing around with
manually moving taps on a coil, or have to adjust
lengths of the antenna sections each time i switch
bands.

2nd Question: ...... mounting a scanner antenna
near the antennas for the rig, what do most folks
use to prevent blowing out the rx front end on
the scanner ? (from keying up the HF rig).


Hmm. Most folks use xtance.
