Fred,

Well with the Outbacker for change the tap (and recoil the wire from bottom
to desired tap)
as you change bands. IF you are a constant band changer - it will drive you
crazy (like your Hustler),
BUT the positive is all you have to change is the tap -- no coils to
remember or store in the trunk

My Outbacker is out on the patio and I find it is seasonal of what bands I
leave it at

Are there any of you out there that are using or have used the Outbacker
antennas, especially the Perth Plus. I am getting tired of changing
resonators on my hustler whe I am mobile and I don't like the many quirks
that the screwdriver antennas have. I would like to hear from you guys
before I shoot a bunch of bucks on a piece of gear that may not work that
well. The hustler works like gangbusters. I would like to have another
antenna that works as well yet like the Outbacker all one has to do is
change the tap plug in and go with no more tuning required.
Thanks in advance

Depends on your favorite bands. It's a pretty good antena for 20m-10m.
About 8 dB down from the top bugcatchers and screwdrivers on 75m.

When I got a new vehicle I replaced my Hustler system with an Outbacker
Perth. I did this because the Outbacker makes such a nice neat
installation that does not attract a lot of attention. It works well
for me but I mostly operate on 20-10. I really can't tell any
difference on these bands versus the Hustler.
