With a 13 ft. whip and SG-230, it made a pretty good
20m-10m mobile antenna for me.

Hi Cecil,

I have one too - and I am sure it does make an excellent mobile antenna
system with 13 feet on its output.

I use mine for "hotel room use" mainly, or any quick lash up in available
space.
I am constantly amazed by the results I get and wouldn't part with it.

On the car I use a resonant whip about 3 feet long on the gutter for 40M and
equally that works well....

For a permanent fixed sytem though its an expensive convenience over other
systems
based on e.g. wire dipoles.

It is a great box though !
